The latest on the Cyprus crisis and why a former French president is under investigation.

As political leaders in Cyprus scramble to raise funds to secure a bailout, Dotun Adebayo gets the latest from Nicosia where people still can't access their money.

News from home and abroad with Dotun Adebayo. 

As political leaders in Cyprus scramble to raise funds to secure a bailout, we get the latest from Nicosia where people still can't access their money. Matina Stevis from the Wall Street Journal tells us she believes it's inevitable one way or another that depositors will have to contribute to the bailout. She also describes heart breaking scenes from the streets of Nicosia, where bank workers about to lose their jobs protested in tears.

To France, where the former president Nicholas Sarkozy is under formal investigation over allegations he took payments for his 2007 presidential campaign from the country's richest woman, claims he has repeatedly denied. Paris journalist Anne Elizabeth Moutet tells us there are very strict rules in France on campaign money - and if Mr Sarkozy is found to have used cash inappropriately, it will invalidate his election. But she also adds there is a strong feeling among some in Paris that this is simply a political manoeuvre.
