They Think it’s Oil Over

The EU has proposed some of its toughest measures yet against Russia, including a total ban on oil imports. Adam is joined by Katya and energy expert (and friend of the podcast) Daniel Yergin, to explore how united member states are over the plan. Also… as promised, we preview the local elections in Scotland and Wales with BBC political editors Glenn Campbell and Felicity Evans.And the much-delayed and over-budget Crossrail project will finally open later this month. We speak to a man who has had a sneak preview of the new line, Philip Sherratt, editor of Modern Railways magazine. Today’s Newscast was made by Tim Walklate, with Alix Pickles and Cordelia Hemming. The technical producer was Emma Crowe. The assistant editor was Alison Gee.
