EU outlines Russia energy plan
World Business Report - Podcast tekijän mukaan BBC World Service

The European Union has outlined a plan aimed at reducing its dependence on Russian energy. The BBC's Theo Leggett brings us the details. And with Russian gas still flowing freely through pipelines across Ukraine, we explore whether that is likely to continue with Stewart Glickman, who is an energy analyst with CFRA Research in New York. Also in the programme, the London Metal Exchange has suspended trade in nickel, following massive surges in the metal's price over the last couple of days. Nikhil Shah is a nickel expert with business intelligence firm CRU, and tells us what's behind the move. Plus, on International Women's Day, we hear from Ukrainian public relations specialist Tetiana Gaiduk about how her life has been upended by Russia's invasion of her country. Plus, we speak to Viktoria from Odesa in Ukraine to ask if its business as usual for many small and medium companies. Today's edition is presented by Mike Johnson, and produced by Nisha Patel, Sara Parry and Faarea Masud.
