Russia's two largest oil companies hit by US sanctions


Listen Later

The US has announced new sanctions targeting Russia's two largest oil companies in an effort to persuade Moscow to negotiate a peace deal in Ukraine.

The announcement came one day after US President Donald Trump said a planned meeting with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Budapest would be shelved indefinitely. Could this put pressure on Vladimir Putin to end his war with Ukraine?

Also in the programme: A former British paratrooper has been found not guilty of murdering two people in shootings at a civil rights march in Northern Ireland in 1972 - an event which became known as "Bloody Sunday"; and the youngest-ever winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, Malala Yousafszai, tells us what it was like being accompanied by a security detail at university.
