主播大秀

Amid concern about supply from Russia, Germany has invoked its emergency gas plan. Carsten Brzeski is global head of macro research at ING, and tells us what the move actually means. Also in the programme, as part of an ongoing economic crisis, Sri Lanka has introduced enforced 10 hour power cuts. Dimuthu Attanayake is a journalist in the capital Colombo, and discusses the impact the power cuts are having. The Ethiopian government has pledged to bring home around 100,000 citizens currently living in Saudi Arabia, following reports of undocumented migrants being subjected to inhumane treatment there. The first flight landed in Ethiopia on Wednesday, from where the 主播大秀's Kalkidan Yibeltal brings us up to speed. With high inflation causing problems for people all over the world, the 主播大秀's Dan O'Brien reports from Wiltshire in southwest England, on the challenges farmers are facing with rapidly rising prices for energy and fertiliser. Plus, we have an extended report from Vivienne Nunis on a row brewing in Australia over a proposed new gas field in the Timor Sea.

Today's edition is presented by Sasha Twining, and produced by George Thomas and Tom Kavanagh.
