Belgians break CETA deadlock; Twitter woes; Human cost of Italy banking crisis

We talk to Trade Campaigner at Global Justice Now, Guy Taylor, and Luisa Santos, Director of International Relations at Business Europe about what caused the Belgian region to change its mind. Meanwhile, something's going wrong at social media network Twitter as potential suitors walk away and the share price dives. And we examine how Italy's banking crisis threatens to topple Prime Minister Matteo Renzi.
