	Description:		In the wake of the Salisbury poisoning, new US sanctions on Russia have been announced. We get reaction from the US-born British financier Bill Browder, who is head of Hermitage Capital, and a long-time anti-Putin campaigner. Also in the programme, Mark Bristow, chief executive of Randgold Resources, tells us why he thinks troubled times have not led to big rises in the price of precious metals. We hear from Taiwan, where the government has said no to a Chinese plan to link them to the mainland with the world's longest undersea railway tunnel. New York has enacted legislation to limit the number of Uber drivers operating on the city streets, and introduce a minimum wage for them. Our reporter in New York brings us the details. Plus we travel to the Indian city of Hyderabad, which has just seen the Swedish furniture giant Ikea open its first store in the country.
