EU proposes fresh wave of sanctions against Russia

Available for over a year

The European Union is proposing a new round of sanctions against Russia including a ban on coal imports and a ban on Russian ships entering European ports. German economist Jakob Schlandt tells us that Germany's heavy reliance on Russian energy remains a difficult issue for the EU. Japan has also stepped up sanctions against Russia; Noah Schneider, Tokyo bureau chief for The Economist gives us the details. Unrest is growing in Peru as both fuel and food prices are rising rapidly. The government has imposed a 22- hour curfew to contain protests; Marcelo Rochabrun is the Reuters correspondent in Lima and brings us the latest from the capital. Also in the programme: a special report from the BBC's Vivienne Nunis looks at Australia's tourism industry, which is breathing a sigh of relief as the country's borders finally reopen and things start to get back to normal. Finally, Italy is trying to encourage so-called digital nomads - people who can work from anywhere - to settle in depopulated towns and villages. Mario Mirabile from South Working in Italy tells us how he's been helping his fellow remote workers adjust to the lifestyle. (Image: European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. Credit: Getty)
