One of the chief architects of the euro, Otmar Issing says Portugal's bailout must be the last in the eurozone.

Plus, science journalist Angela Saini explains why India has become a 'Geek Nation' and our commentator, management consultant Peter York muses on what it takes to achieve gravitas in the business world.
