Russian Presidential Election Economic Preview
What are the implications of another five years of Putin's policies?
Voters in Russia have a little under three months to think about who they want to be their next president. As Vladimir Putin is formally nominated as a candidate for next year's Russian presidential election - we'll assess the implications for the Russian economy of another Putin term. There's not much doubt about the outcome - especially given that the most serious potential rival, Alexei Navalny, has been barred by the Election Commission. Also - as Taiwan warns that China's recent military drills pose an enormous threat to the island, we'll have a live update from Kinmen, Taiwan's defensive front line. And tips for the movie industry on countering the threat posed by streaming - from the chief executive of Imax.
