Ukraine war: US warns Russia against food blockade

BBC World Service - Newshour, Ukraine war: US warns Russia against food blockade

US ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield on worsening global food insecurity

US ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield on the impact of the blockade on Ukrainian wheat exports on food security.

The Ukraine war turns from a conflict about land and about values into a worldwide warning that food may run short for millions.

 The US ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, tells this programme about what she thinks can be done about it and how far the US prepared is to go.

Also in this edition of Newshour: we hear from a pro-democracy activist in Egypt now entering his eighth week of hunger strike; and the Irish artist whose sculpture of a mythical mischief-maker made all sorts of trouble for him.
