Greece Approves Spending Reforms Amid Clashes

Available for over a year

Greece's parliament stayed up until midnight, voting to pass a contentious package of tax and pension reforms. Before the vote, protesters in Athens threw petrol bombs at the police, who responded with tear gas. But will the measures be enough to persuade creditors to release the next tranche of bailout money? We hear from the BBC's Yogita Limaye in Athens and Holger Schmieding of Berenberg Bank in Berlin. 300 leading economists including Thomas Pikkety, Jeffrey Sachs and Nora Lustig, have joined a call for more tax transparency. They're asking governments to lift the veil on offshore secrecy. Independent tax expert Jeremy Newman explains why tax havens have succeeded and Robert Palmer from Global Witness looks at the arguments in favour of increasing transparency. Plus the latest from North Korea on the last day of the country's first open congress in 36 years and the strange case of five million stolen bees in Canada.
