BBC World Service - Business Matters, The US imposes more sanctions on Russia

The new list includes measures against Putin's daughters.

The US has announced further sanctions on Russia. The UK and US assets of its largest bank, Sberbank, will be frozen, and new American and British investments in Russia will be banned. We get analysis from Dr Adi Imsirovic, the former global head of oil at Gazprom Marketing.
China has extended its lockdown in Shanghai to become city-wide. There is growing anger over what’s considered to be a particularly harsh lockdown. Eric Feigl Ding, a leading US leading epidemiologist who was born in the city, tells us more.
Ahead of the first round of voting in French presidential elections this weekend, we hear a special report from the BBC's Theo Leggett in France's industrial heartland in the east of the country about the issues affecting them.

Rahul Tandon is joined throughout the programme by Takara Small, technology reporter for CBC in Toronto, and by Jasper Kim of Ewha University in Seoul.
