Greece awaits bailout vote; why shop closures are surging; new 'super' wi-fi goes on trial

Greece awaits bailout vote; why shop closures are surging; new 'super' wi-fi goes on trial. With Mickey Clark and Dominic Laurie.

News and views from the business world with Mickey Clark and Dominic Laurie.

After crippling strikes and violent protests, Greece's parliament finally votes on the austerity measures it will have to pass to receive further bailout cash. We speak to BBC Athens correspondent Justin Rowlatt as well as Harris Ikonomopoulos, Greek president of the British Hellenic Chamber of Commerce.

It has been another dark few days on the high street with a surge of shop closures from companies such as Thorntons and Carpetright. We speak to Sir Geoff Mulcahy - former boss of many familiar chains such as Woolworths, Comet and B&Q - to shed some light on the situation.

A new super wifi technology that uses frequencies between TV channels is promising to revolutionise broadband connections. We speak to Jim Beveridge of Microsoft - one of the big companies sponsoring a trial of this new technology.
