Acute food shortages in northern Ethiopia

The UN warns of food shortages in Ethiopia's Tigray region, so is famine being concealed?

The UN warns of food shortages in Ethiopia's Tigray region, so is famine being concealed? Freelance journalist Samuel Getachew has visited the affected areas in recent weeks, and tells us what he saw. And we get wider context from Peter Smerdon of the UN's World Food Programme. Also in the programme, following last week's agreement by G7 finance ministers to harmonise corporate tax policies around the world, Ireland's finance minister Paschal Donohoe explains why Dublin wants to see changes to the plan. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Maddy Savage visits Northvolt's new electric car battery factory in northern Sweden. Plus, as Hong Kong introduces strict new movie censorship rules as a result of the territory's new national security law, former civil servant Rachel Cartland, who still lives in Hong Kong, gives us her reaction.
