We look back at the Gulf of Mexico oil spill and find out more about banks challenging a rule on Payment Protection Insurance.
One year on from the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, we look at how BP has coped with the clean up and tried to rebuild its reputation. We talk to Ed Schroeder, vice president of the Tourist Board in Florida and David Weaver, CEO of Global Environmental Solutions Ltd.
The banks are challenging a rule that could see them having to pay out 拢4 billion in compensation, to over 3 million people. It's due to a controversial financial product called Payment Protection Insurance - PPI - insurance designed to cover loans if people get sick or lose their jobs. Ben Heffer, from the financial research firm Defaqto, joins us.
