Some experts reckon Greece has just 3 weeks before it runs out of money, and that a deal with creditors looks unlikely. But without any legal precedent, how would Grexit occur? We hear from a leading corporate lawyer, Benedict James, of the London firm, Linklaters. Also, we hear from one of BP's top shareholders on how the oil major is faring exactly five years after the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. Ian Greenwood, the deputy chair of the UK's Local Authority Pension Fund Forum, explains why shareholders are now pushing the company towards greater transparency on its environmental reporting. Does this mark the first significant shift by an international oil major towards a "greener" profile? And Lucy Kellaway of the Financial Times newspaper, argues that - based on her own experience - more stringent interviews may be needed when interviewing company directors.
