The latest business and finance news from around the world, on the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ.

Argentinian Finance Minister Nicolas Dujovne is meeting IMF Chief Christine Lagarde in Washington DC today to request early release of a $50bn loan. We get the latest on Argentina's economic crisis from the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Daniel Gallas in Buenos Aires.

Scotland Business Editor Douglas Fraser explains why Adoboli, who has lived in the UK since he was 12, thinks he has been unfairly treated. French Agriculture Minister Stephane Travert says the French Navy is ready to intervene if clashes between French and British fishermen over access to scallop-rich seabeds erupt again.
