We get the latest on the missing Malaysian airlines flight throughout the programme with our correspondent Jennifer Pak in Kuala Lumpur. Gazprom, the Russian company that supplies Ukraine's gas, says it could turn off the taps over unpaid bills. Also, as threats of sanctions against Russia ratchet up - we ask who gains from economic wars over politics? The owner of Birmingham City football club is jailed for money laundering. Also, the threat to the world's banana crops from a disease ravaging the fruit. Plus analysis of the week's events in Australia from Robert Milliken, Sydney-based journalist, author and Australia correspondent for The Economist.
