Europe's simmering row over austerity boils over once again. We hear live from Paris. Rice farmers of Fukushima are exporting their produce again, for the first time following Japan's 2011 nuclear disaster. Also in the programme, the economic impact of Israel's conflict with Hamas in Gaza. We hear from the deputy governor of Israel's central bank, Nadine Baudot-Trajtenberg. Plus, the tricky business of firing people. How NOT to do it.
