Newly-elected Greek officials, including the prime minister Alexis Tsipras and finance minister Yannis Varoufakis, are touring Europe to drum up support for a new debt plan. But attitudes to Greece's attempt to renegotiate its bail-out program vary widely from Madrid to Berlin. We'll hear from Marcel Fratscher, President of DIW Berlin, an economic research institute, while Pablo Bustinduy, international spokesman for the left-wing Spanish opposition party Podemos, tells us why they're cheering Greece's new government and new approach. Hugo Dixon, editor-at-large of Reuters, tells us what the European Central Bank is likely to make of Greece's request for a debt renegotiation.
Also, Rhodri Preece, head of capital markets policy for the Europe, Middle East, and Africa at Chartered Financial Analyst, an organisation that bridges industry practice and ethical standards, tells us why banks face more fines before the end of next year.
And Kevin Roose, author of Young Money tells us why some young graduates are still attracted to a career in finance, despite its battered reputation.
