The US and the European Union vow to increase support as more reports of killings emerge. We take a look at the impact this is having in the global economy. Finland and Estonia are investigating damages to an undersea gas pipeline between both countries. Authorities suspect it wasn't an accident. We hear about the implications this can have for the energy market. And the trial against the crypto exchange FTX's founder, Sam Bankman-Fried, goes on in New York, where his former girlfriend will testify. We get the latest from our correspondent. Rahul Tandon discusses these and more business stories with two guests on opposite sides of the world: Andy Uhler in the US, journalism fellow at the University of Texas Energy Institute and Columbia University's Center on Global Energy Policy, and Rachel Pupazzoni in Australia, a national business reporter and presenter at ABC.
