Portugal becomes the third Eurozone country to request a financial bail out.

After months of trying to avoid it, Portugal becomes the third Eurozone country to request a financial bail out. Portugal will ask European authorities for tens of billions of pounds in financial assistance. But will the UK have to contribute too? We are joined by Justin Urquhart Stewart, director of Seven Investment Management and Paulo Casaca, economist and former MEP of the Portuguese Socialist Party.

It's interest rate day in London and Frankfurt, and it's all eyes for once on the European Central Bank, who could raise rates today. What effect would it have here? Mark Capleton, head of inflation strategy at Soci茅t茅 G茅n茅rale joins us.
