Russia Turns off Gas to Ukraine

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Russia has cut off gas supplies to Ukraine after a deadline passed for Kiev to pay two billion dollars which Moscow says it is owed. We ask what impact it could have on the crisis-hit country and ask whether Russia can still maintain its supply to the rest of Europe. Also, the latest on oil prices as the ISIS insurgency grows in Iraq. Plus, London sets its sights on being the next great technology hub but why is the recipe for Silicon success so hard to follow? Royal Ascot, a fixture of Britain's horseracing calender, gets underway - we hear about the business opportunities it presents. And, Lucy Kellaway tells us why workplace monitoring could be a good thing.
