  • Foreign.

  • Hello, and welcome to Business Matters here on the BBC World Service.

  • I'm Rahul Tandem.

  • Plenty coming up on the program.

  • Ukraine says it will accept a short term ceasefire deal if Russia agrees to.

  • What will it mean for the Russian economy and the Ukrainian economy?

  • We will try and find out.

  • And a $2 billion facelift for one of the world's biggest and best known football clubs,

  • Manchester United.

  • But the biggest question really is not how much it's going to cost, it's who's going to pay for it.

  • We will try and answer that question for you.

  • As always, we're joined by two guests on opposite sides of the world.

  • We have Takara Small, national technology columnist for CBC in Toronto.

  • Let's be honest, Takara, there's quite a lot happening in Canada at the moment.

  • So you're pretty busy, I would imagine.

  • Yes.

  • I mean, Canada is kind of the centre of the world right now.

  • We're on Trump's mind and a lot of people in Europe.

  • How does it feel to be at the center of the world?

  • It's so unusual.
