Russia begins cutting the flow of gas to EU countries that refuse to pay the bill in Roubles. Russia also bombs Kyiv while the UN secretary general is there as everyone digs in for a long war. Polls show that EU citizens want an elected president but the bloc is struggling to hold together. Also, we look at whether China’s failed Zero Covid policy is just the beginning for a failure to take world dominance, and this week’s short thought on why you should be clear about how you measure the success of the things you try to do.

President Biden caused another stir by labelling Russia’s war in Ukraine as genocide. Boris Johnson survived a week where he went from glory to disgrace to controversy. Elon Musk offered to by twitter, and the French election gets to the pointy end.

The massive consequences of the Ukraine war on the world’s energy supplies continue to emerge, and one of them is to blow up the promises made at the COP26 climate conference. New claims are made that Vladimir Putin is in danger of a coup the longer the war drags on. And America indulges in the usual political showboating over the latest supreme court nomination.

The invasion of Ukraine has continued, with a significant shift towards indiscriminate shelling of civilian targets, not to mention a nuclear power plant. Putin has declared his settled will to take the whole of Ukraine regardless of the backlash against him. Also, it's being suggested that the Kremlin is on the verge of declaring martial law in Russia – a move which would have far-reaching consequences for Russians and for the world. Also we learned today that Ukrainian president Zelensky has survived three assassination attempts this week – and with hundreds of operatives active in the country with the same mission, there will likely be more to come.

Russia invades Ukraine. We talk about why it happened, why the response by the West will make zero difference to what happens next, and whether this is the first concrete shift towards a new world order, as some people believe.

UK prime minister Boris Johnson says he’ll end all Covid restrictions in two weeks, and the inevitable backlash is in full swing. Justin Trudeau’s strong stand against Canadian truckers begins to crumble as voices on his own side begin to attack a divisive approach to Covid policy. And Democrats retreat on their own Covid policies while Republicans begin to fight in earnest for the soul of their own party.

As Boris Johnson falters, momentum is growing for a new populist campaign to bring down net zero with him - and Nigel Farage thinks he might be just the man for the job. President Biden’s administration is under fire for allegedly trying to push its ideology into institutions it doesn’t belong. And from Canada truckers to Austria protestors, the fallout from attempted vaccine mandates continues.
