Greek PM under fire in Strasbourg

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

The Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras makes his case before the European Parliament, pleading for less austerity in return for more bailout cash. But he receives a mixed reception from MEPs. We also hear from one Greek entrepreneur who's so fed up with the crisis, he's considering moving his business overseas. India's Vyapam Scam is gripping the nation. We ask whether there could be a connection between large-scale rigging of medical exams and dozens of deaths. Crisis management on China's stock markets sees new restrictions put in place after another day of heavy selling. We'll hear reaction to the British Conservative government's first budget since the election. And turning trafficking victims into businesswomen. We speak to the inspiring head of an organisation helping turn personal trauma into success. Our guests are Revathy Ashok of the Bangalore Political Action Committee and Professor Peter Morici of the University of Maryland in Washington DC.
