The Week in 60 Minutes with Andrew Neil - 15th April

Global-Sanctions_Mar21_SpecTV-1200x675x2-textless.jpg

This event is free and open to all.
 Sanctions have long been viewed as an alternative to military intervention: instead of boots on the ground, economic pressure is applied to change a country's behaviour. But is this instrument really working? Despite America's export controls on China and Iran, the UK's financial sanctions on Russia, and many western countries' restrictions on Venezuela, the world's dictators are still storming ahead with their agendas. The West increasingly seems to be at a disadvantage, and geopolitical tensions continue to rise.
While sanctions have become an increasingly popular foreign policy tool, they have also become harder to navigate and assess. Can targeted, well designed sanctions force rogue states and human rights abusers to change their ways, or has their effectiveness worn thin? Are tariffs and embargoes really the best tools we have in our foreign policy kits, or are more innovative solutions needed? Should we be looking into the shadows at those who would help countries avoid sanctions?

Join The Spectator’s Andrew Neil as he chairs a panel discussion with Lord Hannan, Tom Tugendhat MP,&nbsp;Maya Lester QC and the FT’s Tom Burgis to analyse the effectiveness of sanctions and consider alternative solutions to make rogue actors change their ways.

Online learning replaced schools last year, as most children transferred from classrooms to webinars during peaks in the pandemic. While some children advanced, it’s thought that many - especially from disadvantaged backgrounds - have fallen through the cracks. As we consider how to make up for this lost time, can online learning be part of the solution? How do we bridge the gap between digital resources offered to children from different backgrounds? To what extent can life skills be taught online?
Join The Spectator's editor Fraser Nelson and our panel of guests as they discuss whether more online learning can help make up for children's lost education during the pandemic.

When Covid-19 cleared our diaries last year, it also altered countless retirement plans. Some timelines have sped up, due to an increase in redundancies for the over-55s. Others have been stretched, as an unsteady stock market took its toll on some pension pots. Has retirement planning changed permanently? Has the pandemic demanded more flexibility in our retirement plans?

Join The Spectator’s team of journalists and experts
from Netwealth as they discuss how to plan for
retirement in times of great uncertainty.
