Greece's Prime Minister may have narrowly survived a vote of confidence, but George Papandreou still needs to secure a coalition if he's to get the bailout package through parliament.

And what are the Greeks doing to protect their money? Paul Lewis is joined by Vicky Pryce, senior managing director FTI Consulting.
