US and EU Strengthen Sanctions on Russia

Available for over a year

New sanctions covering Russian banks, defence and energy companies have been imposed by the United States and European Union over the conflict in Ukraine. We hear from Moscow based analyst Maria Lipman on what Russia's response could be. Plus the NFL cheerleaders fighting to be paid the minimum wage and the scientists who've succeeded in sequencing the DNA of the coffee bean. Presenter Lucy Burton is joined throughout the programme by Colin Peacock of Radio New Zealand.
