China's Shanghai financial hub will be locked down in two phases amid rising Covid cases. Jennifer Pak is China correspondent for our US partner programme Marketplace, and tells us what impact the lockdowns are likely to have on global supply chains. Also in the programme, a two day general strike is under way in India today, as workers protest government economic policies. We hear how everday life has been affected from Sushma Ramachandran, who is an independent business journalist based in Delhi. Workers at three different Amazon warehouses in the US are voting on whether to organise unions. The 大象传媒's Michelle Fleury reports from one of the facilities, in Staten Island, New York, on whether this effort is likely to succeed. Plus, the 大象传媒's Sam Fenwick reports on record prices for fertiliser as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and explores the potential impact it could have on global food supply.
