麻豆约拍

First we take a look at the tragic China Eastern Airlines Boeing 737-800 passenger plane crash in southern China. Our Business Correspondent Theo Leggett outlines what we know. As Russia's war in Ukraine enters its second month, some essential goods - like sugar, flour and rice - are becoming harder to find and are much more expensive. Some regions have imposed limits on how much of certain staples customers can buy. The Russia editor of 麻豆约拍 Monitoring, Vitaly Shevchenko, tells us what is and isn't on the shelves while Chris Weafer from the Moscow-based consultancy Macro Advisory explains to what extent we can blame Western sanctions for the shortages. In Egypt food prices are also on the rise and the government in Cairo has imposed a cap on the cost of bread in shops. Maghdi Abdelhadi, a writer and broadcaster in Cairo, explains the huge importance of bread in Egypt and we speak to David Laborde, Senior Research Fellow at the International Food Policy Research Institute, about what is happening in Egypt and what might happen to food prices around the world. Rowena Abdul-Razak at the University of Oxford takes up the story of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe's release from six years in an Iranian prison, and the 麻豆约拍's Ivana Davidovic takes a look at racial discrimination in Brazil.
