Russia is to cut gas supplies to the Netherlands and Denmark. Both countries have refused to pay in roubles. It follows an EU decision to block most Russian oil imports.

The Russian energy giant, Gazprom, is to cut gas supplies to the Netherlands and Denmark. Both countries have refused to pay in roubles and it follows an earlier decision from the EU to block most Russian oil imports by the end of the year. The Dutch Prime Minister, Mark Rutte, is playing down the potential impact though. Elsewhere, consumer groups in 18 European countries back a report calling gaming loot boxes "exploitative." We also hear about the impact of Sri Lanka's economic crisis on the country's hospitals. (Image:RUSSIA-UKRAINE-CONFLICT-ENERGY-GAS-EU. Credit: Getty Images)
