russia-ukraine tensions

Your morning briefing, the business news you need in just 15 minutes.

On today's podcast:

(1) Russian authorities showed footage of four men charged in court with carrying out the deadly Moscow concert hall attack after interrogations that traced their origins to Tajikistan.

(2) French authorities have raised their security alert level to the maximum following the deadly Friday attack in a Moscow concert hall.

(3) Bond traders are cautiously reloading wagers that burned them just weeks ago as the Federal Reserve and key global peers finally appear set to begin reducing interest rates as soon as June.

(4) Britain's ruling Conservative party will promise to keep the generous "triple lock" on state pensions in the upcoming election despite the spiraling cost of the commitment, Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt said.

(5) As Donald Trump sits in a Manhattan courtroom Monday for a hearing related to one of his criminal cases, he'll also be facing a moment of truth for his finances: a deadline that same day to either post a bond to cover a $454 million civil fraud verdict or risk having New York state start the process of seizing some of his assets.
