War in Ukraine causes food shortages
The UN says Russia's invasion of Ukraine could soon lead to a global food crisis.
With the UN warning of a global food crisis over the war in Ukraine, we explain how much wheat Ukraine produces and how the disruption in supplies is affecting other countries, particularly in the Arabic-speaking world.
We hear another conversation about racially motivated hate crimes in the United States and the rise of white supremacy and the far-right following the attack in Buffalo.
Also, President Biden has invoked special powers to address the shortage of baby milk formula. The shortage has prompted health authorities to issue warnings against using homemade formula. We have the latest from our business reporter in New York.
