The Greek economy and the refugee crisis presented the EU with two unprecedented challenges in 2015. European Correspondent Suzanne Lynch and Dr Paul Gillespie join Paddy Smyth to look back at a most difficult year for the European institutions. They also discuss what Brexit would mean for the EU. In part two: a landslide in China that left 85 people missing is just the latest environmental catastrophe there that can be traced back to human negligence. Beijing Correspondent Clifford Coonan makes a rare appearance in The Irish Times studio to report on the major environmental problems China faces, particularly in his home city.
