US chipmaker Intel apologised after it urged firms not to source products from Xinjiang. The US argues that China is conducting a genocide in the province, and has blocked import of goods from businesses that can't prove products sourced there are not made using Uighur slave labour. Issac Stone Fish, CEO at Strategy Risks fills us in with the details. Also in the programme, the government of Belgium has announced its two nuclear power plants will close in four years' time. Georg Zachmann of the Bruegel think tank tells us whether the country has a backup plan for energy supply after 2025. And Croatia has seen its population decline dramatically in recent years so the government in Zagreb has come up with a plan that, it hopes, will reverse the trend - Croatians living in the European Union are being offered up to $29,000 to return home to start a business. We hear from the 主播大秀's Balkans correspondent Guy Delauney. The 主播大秀's Mariko Oi reports on Korea's ambitions to be pioneers in the Metaverse, which is seen by some as the next big thing on the internet.
