As Greece's national broadcaster is closed down in the latest drastic cutbacks, we talk to a news anchor there who's just lost his job. We go to Turkey to find out the how local businesses are coping as the police fight to drive protesters from the centre of Istanbul. The new modem for Africa that'll keep you online even during power cuts, we talk to the director of the Kenyan tech firm behind it. We're live in Central America discussing the possibility of a "Nicaraguan canal" to rival Panama's. Plus the radical scheme to deal with a shortage of water in China's booming east coast cities - and why some people aren't pleased with it. And our guest Ping Fu tells us about her extraordinary upbringing from growing up in the dark days of China's cultural revolution to US Presidential advisor on innovation and why 3D printing is the future.
