Navalny poisoning jeopardises Russia-Europe gas pipeline

World Business Report

Available for over a year

There are calls for Germany to scrap a controversial gas pipeline from Russia after the poisoning of Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny. We look at why Nord Stream 2 is being built and ask what would happen if Berlin abandons the project. Plus, the rise of the romance scam - how can you tell if someone you've never met is genuine? And we talk to the coach of the national women's football team in Brazil, Pia Sundhage, about the decision to pay her players the same as male footballers.
