Bond markets shouting slowdown?

The US economy is expanding at an enviable rate, at least when compared to many other advanced economies. The economy expanded by a prodigious 3.7 percent in the second quarter, a pace Germany or Japan – the next most advanced economies – can only dream about. But bond markets are having none of it. Edward Harrison weighs in. Ameera David sits down with Steve Keen – professor of economics, history and politics at Kingston University – to talk about Greece.

After the break, Bianca Facchinei takes a look at the latest poll numbers from Greece. Edward and Erin Ade then discuss Brazil’s economic woes. And in The Big Deal, Edward and RT correspondent Lindsay France talk about the world’s water crisis.
