State of Emergency Declared in Ukraine

BBC World Service - Business Matters, State of Emergency Declared in Ukraine

Amid the threat of a Russian invasion, Ukraine faces a number of challenges.

A state of emergency is now in force across the whole of Ukraine. We hear from Jock Mendoza-Wilson, Deputy Chairman of the UK-Ukraine Chamber of Commerce, who's lived in Kyiv for the past 16 years. Also on the programme, the latest cyber attacks on Ukraine are another reminder of the malign potential of digital technology in the wrong hands though saying that invites a lot of questions about what is "right" or "wrong" in the context of the technology that now pervades every aspect of our lives. Author Stephanie Hare questions whether we can take its fundamental neutrality for granted. She's also explored this in her new book Technology is Not Neutral: A Short Guide to Technology Ethics.

Qantas has posted its fourth consecutive half-yearly loss. ABC Senior Business Correspondent Peter Ryan, in Sydney has been speaking with the CEO about their plans on bouncing back from the pandemic.


Fergus Nicoll is joined on the programme by Elizabeth Gwynn, reporter for ABC News in Tasmania, and Andy Uhler journalist at Marketplace on American Public Media from Austin, Texas.
