Nato to send troops to boost Eastern European defences

The move was agreed by leaders at a Nato summit in Brussels

At a Nato summit in Brussels, its members have discussed boosting defence spending. We get the very latest from the summit from Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Brussels correspondent Jessica Parker.
Also in the programme, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Jonathan Head reports from Thailand on the impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine on tourists from the two countries who find themselves stranded there, either because sanctions mean there are no flights to return to Russia, or the war in Ukraine means a return to the country is currently out of the question.
New York's famous yellow taxi cabs are being added to the ride-hailing platform Uber. Chris Mills Rodrigo is a journalist at The Hill and discusses the move.
And the streaming service Spotify has released figures showing how much it paid artists in the past year, in a bid to become more transparent. But it's still unclear what exactly musicians are paid. Eddie Fu of the pop culture website Consequence gives his reaction.

Sasha Twining is joined throughout the programme by Dante Desparte, chief strategy officer and head of global policy at Circle, from Washington, and Sushma Ramachandran, an independent business journalist and columnist at the Tribune Newspaper, who's in Delhi.
