No Deal in Brussels For Greece
Greece continues its bailout negotiations with Europe but still no deal has been reached, and Taylor Swift causes Apple to U-turn after complaining about their new music service.
There's optimism on both sides of the table as Greece continues its protracted bailout negotiations with European leaders, but still no deal has been reached. There was confusion at the summit after it emerged two different draft proposals had been sent out by Greek finances ministers, the Financial Times' Peter Spiegel takes us through what happened, while the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Lucy Burton reports from the streets of Athens after a day of pro-Syriza demonstrations.
Taylor Swift edges closer to being crowned the unofficial Queen of the Internet after Apple bows to her command. The tech giant, unveiling a new music service, wasn't planning on paying artists for the first three months after the launch but made a U-turn after the influential and decidedly business-savvy Swift posted a rant against the policy on her blog.
Plus we're joined by two guests on opposite sides of the Pacific - Catherine Yeung, investment director at Fidelity Worldwide Investment in Hong Kong, and Boyan Slat - the inspirational young Dutch man trying to get a machine he's invested to clear the world's oceans of plastic to be taken up on a global scale - he joins us from Bermuda.
