China's population fell last year for the first time in six decades, an historic moment - we take a look at why it's happening.

We talk to the boss of one of the world's biggest chemical firms, who says that Russian president Vladimir Putin is "weaponizing food", and that countries are too reliant on Russia for the chemicals used to make fertiliser.
