The Greek economy has shown a surprise return to growth, giving the government a boost following the European Union's decision to offer Athens a third bailout. We hear from small business owners in Athens and get analysis from economist Shaun Richards. Nestle has won an important ruling from a court in India that decided more tests should be carried out to assess the safety of its Maggi brand of noodles. The popular food, which can now be sold again, was banned after tests found it contained lead. The BBC's correspondent in Mumbai, Yogita Limaye, explains the damage the affair has caused to Nestle in India. For many jazz lovers, a trip to New York is not complete without a visit to the Blue Note Jazz Club. But now fans in China will not have to travel so far, because the Blue Note is opening a club in Beijing, in March next year. Within the next three years it also plans to open venues in Shanghai and Taiwan's capital, Taipei. The BBC's Michelle Fleury went to the New York venue to meet the fans, and the people behind the expansion. (Picture: Euro banknotes and Greek Euro coin. Credit: BBC)
