The cryptocurrency collapse

Cryptocurrency markets are being rocked after a popular token lost 99% of its value

Cryptocurrency markets are being rocked after a popular token lost 99% of its value. We get the latest analysis from Anita Ramaswamy of the TechCrunch website.
Oil giant Saudi Aramco has overtaken Apple to become the world's most valuable company. Indrajit Sen of the Middle East Economic Digest in Dubai discusses the significance of the shift.
Also in the programme, many countries have criticised Russia in the wake of its invasion of Ukraine. The United Arab Emirates is not one of them though, and Dubai in the UAE is turning out to be a popular destination for Russians trying to flee the impact of sanctions, as the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Sameer Hashmi explains.
Plus, we have an extended report from the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Russell Padmore exploring the problem of ships colliding with whales.
