Politics Weekly podcast: Europe looks to Germany for salvation

The rain-soaked jubilee celebrations are over and it's back to the crisis in the eurozone. This week Spain is under pressure to explain how it will get its banking sector out of a deepening hole as European leaders continue to beg German chancellor Angela Merkel to help fund a solution that doesn't involve crippling austerity.

Joining Tom Clark this week to discuss all of this: the Observer's economics editor Heather Stewart, Guardian political columnist Michael White and Philip Oltermann, author of Keeping Up With The Germans.

Also this week: Tory chair Sayeeda Warsi is in political hot water after admitting that she failed to properly disclose the business interests of a guest she took on an official trip to Pakistan. The under-worked adviser on the ministerial code will finally get a case to get his teeth into after being passed over for his advice on Jeremy Hunt's conduct.
