Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky has met JD Vance at the Munich Security Conference, after the US vice president launched a withering attack on European countries. In a hard-hitting speech, Mr Vance said said there was "a new sheriff in town" as he criticised what he called a "retreat of fundamental values" across Europe. Also on the programme: we speak to the Egyptian sportswoman whose pregnancy during the Paris Olympics stunned the world; and the study explaining why so many people feel they have a separate stomach for pudding.

As the dollar reaches historic highs against currencies in both emerging and developed markets, the chances of battling inflation rates shrink outside the United States. The Euro, the British pound, and the Japanese yen have depreciated at unprecedented this year. Steve Hanke, a professor of Applied Economics at the Johns Hopkins University, in Baltimore, explains the global fallout of a soaring dollar.

Tesla boss Elon Musk has accused US regulators of targeting him for "unrelenting investigation" because of his criticism of the government. In a court filing, the billionaire says the Securities and Exchange Commission has engaged in "outsized efforts" to monitor the firm that "seem calculated to chill his exercise" of free speech. We speak to Michelle Fleurry in New York. The Indonesian President Joko Widodo called on global unity to revive the global economy hit hard by the Covid pandemic. He was speaking at the start of the G20 meeting of finance ministers in Bali. One of the challenges those ministers will have to deal with is the amount of debt facing the world's poorest countries. According to figures from the International Monetary Fund almost 60 percent of low income countries - most of them in Africa - are at risk of struggling to pay back their debts. We asked Marcello Estevao from the World Bank what could be done. Two years on from the start of the pandemic, most visitors are still banned from Japan. The world's third largest economy has one of the strictest border controls in the world - but how is it affecting the people there and the national economy? Tamsin Ford of the BBC's Business Daily has been on a virtual tour of Tokyo's foodie hotspots with Yukari Sakamoto - chef and author of a book called Food Sake Tokyo. She explored what impact has the lack of tourists had on Yukari's business. Hong Kong has changed a great deal over the past ten years. The political leadership is in lockstep with the Communist Party leadership in Beijing - they've made the Legislative Council far more compliant - and they've implemented a National Security Law. If that's the case, Hong Kong's value as an in-between space - halfway between China proper and the global marketplace - doesn't really exist anymore. The American Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong reported last year that 44 percent of their members were contemplating pulling out. We hear from Tara Joseph, the President of AmCham. Rahul Tandon is joined throughout the programme by Andy Uhler from Marketplace in Austin Texas, and Rebecca Choong Wilkins from Bloomberg in Hong Kong.

In an escalating standoff over nuclear weapons, Russia and the United States have suspended compliance with the Cold War-era Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, prompting fears of a new arms race that analysts and politicians say could push the world "much closer" to a nuclear war. The long-running dispute between Washington and Moscow came to a head on Friday when US President Donald Trump accused Russia of violating the 1987 bilateral treaty with "impunity", and announced his government was suspending its obligations under the landmark pact. Pledging to "move forward" with its own military response options, Trump said the US will withdraw from the accord in six months unless Moscow destroyed land-based missiles allegedly deployed in violation of the treaty. In a tit-for-tat move on Saturday, Russian President Vladimir Putin said he was also suspending Moscow's participation in the agreement. Russia will start work on creating new missiles, including hypersonic weapons, he said, adding that Moscow will not deploy such weapons in the European part of the country or elsewhere unless the US does so. The Russia, US standoff is developing on another front as well, in South America’s Venezuela. On this edition of The Big Picture we analyse the escalating tensions between, Russia and the United states. Anchor: Frank Rausan Pereira Guests: Harsh V.

U.S. special envoy to Afghanistan Zalmay Khalilzad has shared details of his recent talks with the Taliban with Afghan President Ashraf Ghani and other government officials. A January 28 statement quoted Khalilzad as saying he had held talks about a possible cease-fire, but nothing was agreed upon. Khalilzad also confirmed that no agreement had been made on the withdrawal of foreign troops, adding that any such decision would be coordinated with the Afghan government. The statement comes after both the Taliban and Khalilzad said "progress" was made in the latest set of talks in Qatar aimed at ending the 17-year conflict in Afghanistan. The Western-backed government in Kabul has struggled to fend off a resurgent Taliban and other militant groups, nearly two decades after a U.S.-led coalition drove the Taliban from power in Afghanistan in 2001. The Taliban has so far refused to hold direct negotiations with the Afghan government officials, whom they dismiss as "puppets."

It was one of the most notorious spy cases in US history. On 27th November 1954, former US diplomat Alger Hiss was released after spending four years in jail for allegedly lying about being a Soviet agent. Alger Hiss had been seen as a potential secretary of state, but was unable to shake off allegations that he'd passed official documents to Moscow. His conviction was the prelude to a Communist witch-hunt in America that became known as the McCarthy era. Louise Hidalgo has been talking to Alger Hiss's son Tony Hiss about growing up in the shadow of the scandal, and his belief that his father was innocent.Picture: US state department official, Alger Hiss, denying he was a member of a Communist cell before the House Committee on Un-American Activities in Washington on 28th August 1948.
