Putin and Biden meet in Geneva - a podcast by BBC World Service

As the Russian and US presidents meet in Geneva, we examine the state of Russia's economy. Chris Weafer is chief executive of the economic consultancy Macro Advisory, and offers us his analysis. Also in the programme, the presidents of Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo have officially opened a major new bridge between the countries. Nebert Rugadya is a business journalist in Kampala and tells us what difference the new border crossing will make. Andrew Ssentongo of energy company GRS Commodities discusses whether solar power might offer a solution to get reliable electricity to those off the grid across Africa. Plus, as the European Union starts releasing pandemic recovery funds, we ask how Spain's tourism sector is faring, with Giles Brown from Spanish radio station, Talk Radio Europe.
