The West is putting sanctions on Russia after President Putin ordered troops into Ukraine. The moves include the UK blocking several Russian banks, and Germany suspending approval of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. We hear about the legal and trade implications from lawyer Shaistah Akhtar of Mishcon de Reya. Also in the programme, we find out why the price of used cars and trucks in the US has risen more than 40% over the past year. As coffee giant Starbucks reduces its relationship with the certification organisation Fairtrade, we get reaction from Anna Barker, head of responsible business at the Fairtrade Foundation. Plus, the boss of one of Britain's biggest supermarket chains is to take a four month sabbatical to help her children through some school exams. Our regular workplace commentator Peter Morgan considers whether career breaks and sabbaticals are a trend that are likely to catch on.

Today's edition is presented by Rob Young, and produced by Benjie Guy and Ivana Davidovic.
