More Russia Sanctions

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

The EU and the US say they will impose 'further costs' on Russia over its actions in Ukraine, as unrest continues in the east of the country. Plus, officials in Chile say it could take more than 20 days to extinguish a deadly forest fire in the hills around the port city of Valparaiso. We get the latest from our reporter there. As Donna Tartt's Goldfinch wins the Pulitzer prize for literature, we ask whether this prestigious prize helps book sales. We are joined in the studio by special guest Nicholas Wood who runs Political Tours, a holiday company which takes travellers around political hotspots. And, Financial Times reporter Anjili Raval joins us from New York.
