The show premieres on Wednesday, September 9 at 17.30 UTC and will be available online on-demand.

Varoufakis accuses Klaus Regling, the head of Europe’s financial rescue fund (ESM), of “being economical with the truth”. The eurozone’s ministers of finance “lacked sophistication”, says Varoufakis. “There was never any serious discussion about economics or macroeconomics in the Eurogroup.”
