Europe's cost of living crisis

Unspun World with John Simpson

Available for over a year

Faisal Islam discusses the cost of living crisis sweeping across Europe. Can economies cope, or is this the end of globalisation - and, if so, what next? Steve Rosenberg analyses how bad the war has made life for ordinary Russians. Maddy Savage explains why crime is top of the agenda in the upcoming Swedish elections. Murad Shishani from BBC Arabic examines the political deadlock and ongoing tensions in Iraq, and Becky Morelle looks at the science and inspiration behind Nasa's revival of its moon ambitions.
