We look at Greece's bailout package, the CBI's latest recommendation to the Coalition and how nuclear energy might prove itself as a route to the UK meeting its carbon targets.

A forced revamp of Greece's 110 billion euro bailout package, agreed just one year ago, now looks a virtual certainty. We speak to Matina Stevis, London correspondent for the Greek newspaper Eleftherotypia.

The employers body, The Confederation of British Industry, is urging the government to stay firm on its austerity plan, despite a recent run of data that appears to show the economic recovery running out of steam. John Cridland, director general of the CBI explains more.

Increasing our nuclear energy capability is the best way for Britain to meet its carbon reduction targets - that is the conclusion of the Committee on Climate Change in a new report. We speak to Dr Craig Lowrey, consultant for the Utilities Exchange, an independent energy consultancy.
