More than 300 American companies will testify at a US trade panel in Washintgon DC. We hear from the Deputy Director of Farmers for Free Trade, Angela Hofman, about what message farmers are sending to the administration. After eight years of austerity, Greece has officially exited its bailout programme. We find out what it means for people in the country from Vicky Pryce, the author of Greekonomics, and Costas Lapavitsas, who is professor of economics at the School of Oriental and African Studies, and was an MP for Greece's governing Syriza party. And we have a report on Greek fishermen who where encouraged give up their boats as part of efforts to conserve Europe's fish stocks. Also in the programme, data from the United Nations and the US Census Bureau saays that Generation Zee, those aged 12 to 22 will soon outnumber millennials - 23 to 37. We're joined by Marcie Merriman, executive director for digital strategy at the global business-consulting firm Ernest & Young - who's been leading research into Gen Zee for several years. Plus our regular workplace commentator Alison Green asks whether team-building exercises such as sheepdog herding or ice carving actually achieve their intended outcome.
We're joined throughout the programme by Simon Littlewood, President at the Asia Now Consulting Group in Singapore this morning and Dave Shaw Politico's executive producer for audio and podcasts in Washington DC.
