So it turns out Belgium of all places has Russia by the financial short and curlies ... and that's awks for various reasons.
The EU is immobilising indefinitely £185bn of Russian assets – held mostly by Belgian bank Euroclear – to help Ukraine and Russia is somewhat miffed. Belgium doesn't want to be saddled with a huge bill if this all goes pear-shaped.
Alex Andreou and Kenny Campbell pick over the latest developments in the conflict and, closer to home, ask what exactly the 'super-flu' furore is all about (hint: it's not just flu).
Plus ... ageism, misogyny and dumb-assery are an ever-present three-headed beast in our world, as Catherine Zeta-Jones found out this week. Alex and Kenny tread cautiously through this media minefield and ask what we as individuals can do to make things better.
