Inflation spikes across Europe

With inflation rising across Europe, Spain is particularly hit with prices rising 5.5%.

With inflation rising across Europe, Spain is particularly hit with prices rising 5.5%. That's the highest level seen for almost 30 years, and the 主播大秀's Guy Hedgecoe in Madrid tells us how people in the country are responding. And we get wider context on the global inflation picture from Karen Ward, chief market strategist for Europe, the Middle East and Africa at JP Morgan Asset Management, who also used to chair the UK's Council of Economic Advisers. Also in the programme, the 主播大秀's Tamasin Ford reports on how the makers of period pants, which are underwear that absorbs liquid, hope to disrupt the global market for menstrual-related products, as well as help women and the environment. Plus, the Indian capital Delhi has introduced reforms to the way alcohol is sold, with state-run shops ceasing trade and being replaced by much more luxurious privately-owned liquor stores. The 主播大秀's Devina Gupta in Delhi explains what was behind the move.

Today's edition is presented by Rob Young, and produced by Vivienne Nunis and Sara Parry.
