The European Central Bank will cut back its scheme designed to boost eurozone economies. Klaus Vistesen, chief eurozone economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, explains the significance of the move. Also in the programme, we find out why protesters in Africa are calling for a boycott of French products. We talk to Robert and Barney Swan about their plan to take a 1000 kilometre Antarctic trek, using only renewable energy. We have a report from Hong Kong on why the era of electronic and internet stockbroking means the trading floor of the Hong Kong stock exchange is about to close. Plus, the European Court of Justice has ruled that the card game bridge is not a sport, and therefore not entitled to a tax break. Ian Payn of the English Bridge Union tells us why he's disappointed with the verdict. (Picture: The European Central Bank. Picture credit: Reuters.)
