Eurozone crisis: Not so Super Mario? (Part 2)

Not so super Mario: the head of the European central bank fails to reassure investors worried about the eurozone crisis. Stocks fall and borrowing costs for Spain and Italy rise. This was clearly not the big bazooka markets were waiting for. Laura Baines and her panel discuss what it will take to restore confidence.

They’ve heard their politicians deny there was a problem....next thing you know Ireland is the next Greece. So what went wrong for Ireland? Can the euro survive any more crises?

Catholic Church: Going soft on contraception? (part 2)

Millions of Catholics around the world were left trying to fathom the pope’s position after Benedict 16th said that in some cases, the use of condoms could be justified. Just last year his holiness said condoms could actually be exacerbating the HIV epidemic in Africa and the only way to curb infection was via abstinence and fidelity. Does this turnaround mean the Catholic Church is finally going soft on condoms?
