We take a look back over Alexis Tsipras' first week in power and discuss whether Syriza's win could lead to Grexit and a better future for the euro. We talk to a housebuilder after it was revealed that 145,000 homes were built last year, up 9% on the 2013 but still not enough according to the government.
