Europe's Central Bank under pressure

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Will the ECB's head really do "whatever it takes" to save the euro? Amid signs Europe's expected quantitative easing plan may get watered down, we debate its merits and drawbacks with economists Roger Bootle of Capital Economics, and Joerg Kraemer from Germany's Commerzbank. Also in the programme, there's relief in India, as Europe lifts its mango ban. Plus the BBC's Samira Hussein reports on oil giant BP's latest round of court hearings over the Deepwater Horizon spill. And, just how much money is too much when it comes to children's parties? Picture credit: Reuters
