Aides and former employees of Bernie Madoff have gone on trial in New York. We speak to former US state and federal prosecutor Jacob S. Frenkel. The European Parliament in Strasbourg has voted through a raft of anti-smoking measures, including a ban on menthol cigarettes. But will they make it into legislation? And noted economist Roger Bootle gives us his thoughts on the US government shut down.
