US to Put More Sanctions on Russia

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

As Russia's currency drops sharply, we hear about a growing sense of desperation among Moscow shoppers to spend on goods like iPads that will hold their value. Meanwhile the White House has indicated it will support a toughening of US sanctions on Russia over Ukraine. Plus, Marketplace reporter Sabri Ben Achour talks about his recent trip to the Democratic Republic of Congo to meet former child soldiers. Presenter Fergus Nicoll is also joined by Vandana Harri of Platts in Delhi.
