On today's Radio Davos, co-hosted by 'Exponential View' writer, author and podcaster Azeem Azhar, UN Secretary-General warns of a 'great fracture' in the world, Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis tells us the war in Ukraine affects the whole world. We talk to Caroline Casey of the disability inclusion campaign Valuable 500 and tour the art exhibition bringing the voice of refugees to Davos.
