EU bailout row: what now for Cyprus?

World Business Report

Available for over a year

A $13bn bailout of Cyprus by the EU and IMF is in doubt after mounting opposition to a levy on bank accounts. Our reporter Nigel Cassidy is live from the capital Nicosia where he's been speaking to local people and businesses concerned about what happens next. We'll also discuss the broader implications for Europe's strategy to deal with its debt crisis. And whilst many countries have turned their back on nuclear power since the disaster at Fukushima in Japan, Britain has approved its first new nuclear power plant in a generation.
