BBC World Service - The Real Story, Doing Business with Mr Putin

Should the West be doing business with Putin's Russia?

A special edition of Newshour Extra, recorded at the annual conference of the governing UK Conservative Party, discussing appropriate responses to Russia's actions in Ukraine and Syria.
