Russia Warns of "Military Hysteria" Over North Korea

Russian President Vladimir Putin has rejected expansion of sanctions against North Korea.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has rejected expansion of sanctions against North Korea. We ask Larry Korb, former assistant Secretary of Defense under Ronald Reagan, whether a military response could be an option. Are the BRICS countries still a viable club in today's economy? We hear from Dr Sergey Radchenko, Professor of International Relations at Cardiff University. Plus, we speak to Lego Chairman Jorgen vig Knudstorp after the company posted a 3% fall in profit. Fergus Nicoll is joined throughout the programme by Jyoti Malhotra, Consulting Editor at the Indian Express in Delhi and David Brancaccio, host of Marketplace Morning Report on American Public Media.
