Ukraine's president suggests Germany is focused on economic interests ahead of ending war.

Ukraine's president suggests Germany is focused on economic interests ahead of ending war. Jakob Schlandt is an energy and climate journalist for the German daily Tagesspiegel and discusses President Zelensky's concerns. Also in the programme, we hear from the chief economist of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, Laurence Boone, about the likely global economic impact of Russia's war in Ukraine. The historic shipping firm P&O Ferries, which operates services from the UK to a number of destinations has fired 800 seafaring staff and intends to replace them with agency workers. We get the background from the 主播大秀's Dharshini David. Plus, a 主播大秀 investigation has found that dozens of social media influencers have been promoting illegal self-tanning products described as "dangerous" by leading dermatologists. We find out more from reporter Ellie Layhe.

Today's edition is presented by Mike Johnson, and produced by Clare Williamson, Philippa Goodrich and Matthew Davies.
