€9bn assistance to Ukraine from the EU / Can electric cars harm our health?

This week in our Beyond the Byline podcast, we are focusing on the European Commission's decision to increase the Ukrainian government's short-term budgetary aid by 9 billion and set up a reconstruction platform to help with financing the rebuilding of the country. To hear more on this, I’m joined by EURACTIV’s Economy and Jobs editor, Janos Ammann, who has been following the story.

We are also taking a look at the state of the transport industry: what's happening with diesel and gasoline prices, and how, while electric vehicles might be beneficial for the environment, they could have hidden impacts on our health. To break down this story, I spoke with EURACTIV’s Transport editor, Sean Goulding Carroll.
