Fresh EU and US Sanctions Against Russia

World Business Report

Available for over a year

The US and EU impose a new round of sanctions on Russia, despite a shaky ceasefire in eastern Ukraine. Russia's defence and energy sectors are being targeted. Also ahead of Sweden's election this weekend, we assess if the stubbornly high unemployment rate might see the country's government change. We report on 'aquaponics' - a way of growing food by using a water supply linked to a fish tank. Finally we look back at the week's biggest business stories with Jesse Eisinger, senior reporter at Pro Republic in New York and Katie Martin, markets editor at the Wall Street Journal in London.
