Russia-US summit in Geneva

Biden and Putin praise Geneva summit talks but discord remains.

Biden and Putin praise Geneva summit talks but discord remains. We hear about their separate media briefings - in which Mr Putin spoke first, followed by Mr Biden. Nina Jankovich of the Wilson Center in Washington picks out her highlight from each leader's remarks. Also in the show, Susan Schmidt of Aviva Investors in Chicago chats to us about unemployment and inflation in the US. We take a look at sexual harassment in the workplace and whether smart tech can help increase a victim's confidence in reporting - and the role HR plays in tackling these workplace offences. Also, we chat about vaccination incentives, including Krispy Kreme who have been handing out a free donut a day to anyone that can prove they've been vaccinated. Mitchell Hartman, a Senior Reporter for Marketplace on American Public Media - joins the programme from Portland, Oregon; and the author and former civil servant Rachel Cartland is with us from Hong Kong.
