Presidents Putin and Xi of Russia and China met and unveiled a number of bilateral deals. We hear about the burgeoning economic relationship between the two countries from Dmitry Dolgin, chief economist for Russia at ING. President Putin was also able to catch the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics in Beijing, and the 主播大秀's Stephen McDonell tells us what impact the coronavirus pandemic has had on the scale of the event, compared to Beijing's summer Olympics in 2008. Also in the programme, the US added 467,000 jobs last month, which was far better than most analysts had predicted. The 主播大秀's Michelle Fleury brings us the details. Plus, the 主播大秀's Russell Newlove reports on the booming market for electric bikes.

Today's edition is presented by Will Bain, and produced by George Thomas, Russell Newlove and Gabriele Shaw.
