UN: War impoverishing Ukrainians

UN's World Food Programme feeds more than 400 million people globally. But the war means it has been unable to export its agriculture products, resulting in loss of income, with estimates that a prolonged conflict could push 9 out of 10 Ukrainians into poverty.

Also, we hear the story of Shazia Jamili, a university student from Afghanistan who could not imagine life under the Taliban and managed to get out.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are John Nilsson-Wright, Associate Professor in Modern Japanese Studies at the University of Cambridge & Senior Fellow for Northeast Asia at the London-based research organisation, Chatham House; and Ramita Navai, a British-Iranian film-maker, journalist and author based in London.
