President Biden makes surprise visit to Ukraine

World Business Report

Available for over a year

The US president made a new pledge to ramp up sanctions, on his first visit to the country since the invasion. We hear from Estonia's foreign minister about how sanctions can be used to rebuild Ukraine. With just days to go until the Nigerian election, we speak to a group of young people about why more and more of them are leaving the country to pursue work opportunities elsewhere. And Scottish craft brewer BrewDog likes to claim it's beer is for everyone, and now it'll test that theory as it expands into China.
