BBC World Service - World Business Report, EU proposes fresh wave of sanctions against Russia

The latest measures would include a ban on coal imports.

The European Union is proposing a new round of sanctions against Russia including a ban on coal imports and a ban on Russian ships entering European ports. German economist Jakob Schlandt tells presenter Faarea Masud that Germany's heavy reliance on Russian energy remains a difficult issue for the EU.  Japan has also stepped up sanctions against Russia; Noah Schneider, Tokyo bureau chief for The Economist gives us the details. Also in the programme: a special report from the BBC's Vivienne Nunis looks at Australia's tourism industry, which is breathing a sigh of relief as the country's borders finally reopen and things start to get back to normal. Finally, Italy is trying to encourage so-called digital nomads - people whose can work from anywhere, provided they have a laptop and wifi - to settle in depopulated towns and villages. Mario Mirabile from South Working in Italy tells us how he's been helping his fellow remote workers adjust to the lifestyle.
