German Parliament Backs Greek Debt Deal

The German parliament votes to support the new Greek bailout deal. Plus, as mourners mark the first anniversary of the MH17 disaster, we ask what's happened to Malaysia Airlines.

Greece and its creditors can formally start talks on the country's third bailout after eurozone parliaments, including Germany's, gave their backing. We hear how Chancellor Angela Merkel fought off a rebellion from within her own coalition, and how the negotiations on the specifics of the Greek deal are only just beginning.

Plus, as mourners in the Netherlands and elsewhere mark the first anniversary of the MH17 disaster, we ask whether Malaysia Airlines will ever be able to recover.

The man in charge of English football's Premier League, Richard Scudamore, has been on a charm offensive in Singapore to boost the brand's presence in Asia. Simon Atkinson asks him about foreign ownership of Premier League clubs, TV rights, and match-fixing.

And we find out how the graceful moves of ballet have combined with the boisterous music of South African townships in a new show that's just opened in London.

Roger Hearing is joined throughout the programme by Sean Turnell, assistant professor of economics at Macquarrie University in Sydney. Australia
