Will Argentina secure early release of $50bn IMF loan?

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 BBC's Daniel Gallas in Buenos Aires. The former UBS trader Kweku Adoboli, who lost £1.4bn and was convicted of fraud in 2012, is facing deportation to Ghana. Foreign nationals sentenced to more than 4 years in prison (he served 4 of a 7 year sentence) are automatically considered for deportation. Scotland Business Editor Douglas Fraser explains why Adoboli, who has lived in the UK since he was 12, thinks he has been unfairly treated.  And after Zimbabwe's historic elections, what does the future hold for its battered economy? Efforts are being made to boost the country's tourism industry, as the BBC's Vivienne Nunis has been finding out.
