What is fact and what is fiction in Russia's war in Ukraine? Plus - why the need to tackle the climate crisis is as urgent as ever.

This week John sorts propaganda from wishful thinking in Russia’s war on Ukraine with the BBC’s security correspondent, Gordon Correra; explores the impact of the war on the global economy with the BBC’s global trade correspondent, Darshini David; looks at China's Covid strategy with Kerry Allen from BBC monitoring; asks if we should be doing more to tackle the climate crisis with climate editor, Justin Rowlatt; and finds some of the answers to Peru's extraordinary political crisis with Guillermo Olmo, Peru correspondent for BBC Mundo.

Unspun World provides an unvarnished version of the week's major global news stories with the BBC's world affairs editor John Simpson and the BBC's unparalleled range of experts.
