Ahead of the repeat elections, what's the cure for Greece, as pharmacies run out of drugs?

Ahead of key elections in Greece, what price recovery for cancer-sufferers having to queue for crucial drugs? Also, can America stop casino banking? And should Barrack Obama be doing more for Africa?

Ahead of crucial elections in Greece, we have a report on the cancer-sufferers queueing for life-saving drugs in Athens, as the economic crisis bites deep. 

Also in the programme, can America stop casino banking? The Volcker rule is meant to stop banks engaging in risky trading, the kind partly blamed for the financial crisis of 2008. But some, like Peter Wallison of the American Enterprise Institute, reckon the law won't work, and will just cost everyone a lot more money. 

Also, should Barrack Obama, America's first African-American President, be doing more for Africa? Our Ghanaian commentator, Bright Simons, offers his thoughts.
