BBC News
About this episode

Going viral without a sniffle, soaring inflation, the life of a Russian journalist...

With the cost of goods and services rising at their fastest rate for 30 years, Marianna Spring (who’s sitting in for Adam) is joined by Louise Cooper, financial analyst and presenter of Radio 4’s Money Box Live, to discuss what this means for us all.

BBC presenter Shaun Ley gives his tips on how to sneeze - or not sneeze - gracefully on air.

And independent Russian broadcaster, Sergei Buntman, tells us what life is like for a journalist in Moscow.

Today’s Newscast was made by Tim Walklate, with Cordelia Hemming and Ben Cooper. Emma Crowe was the technical producer. The assistant editor was Sam Bonham.
