Greek Bailout Ends

Greece has ended a three-year Eurozone bailout programme

Greece has ended a three-year Eurozone bailout programme which was designed to help it cope with fallout from a debt crisis. We hear from Professor Costas Meghir, an economist with Yale University, based in Athens and Professor Kevin Featherstone, the director of the Hellenic Observatory at the London School of Economics. Also in the programme, Venezuela is to overhaul its national currency amid hyperinflation. Professor Steve Hanke, an economist at Johns Hopkins University gives us his analysis. Also, South Africa is opening a commission investigating allegations that state funds were stolen when the former President Jacob Zuma was in charge. Joe Brock, the Chief Southern Africa Correspondent at Reuters in Johannesburg tells us what's led to the hearing. We get a markets update from Michael Hughes. And we have a report on the drought in New South Wales, Australia to find out how it's impacting farmers.
