Ukraine: Global food crisis

We hear about concerns over the impact the war in Ukraine could have on food supplies.

Ukraine is a major grain exporter, and the UK has warned food shortages could cause more deaths than the war itself. We hear more from our Global Trade Correspondent.

We find out what hacked data from Chinese government computers has revealed about China’s secretive system of detention camps for Uyghur Muslims. The data that was handed to the ´óÏó´«Ã½ include evidence of a shoot-to-kill policy for those who try to escape. For reaction, we speak to Uyghurs who have fled the country.

We speak to people in Iraq about their experiences of the ninth dust storm in less than two months in the country and ask our weather expert about the causes and effects of dust storms.

And we have been getting more listeners’ questions about the monkeypox outbreak and have another expert to answer some of them.
