Available for over a year

The billionaire businessman Petro Poroshenko claims outright victory in Ukraine's presidential election - but what difference will the man known as the chocolate king make to the country's economy?

We find out why it is worth nearly a hundred million dollars less than last year. And, we hear from the journalist who tried to survive for a week using nothing but the Bitcoin payment system.
