RBS boss 'dealing with issues from the past' as profits fall

Royal Bank of Scotland has reported a half-year loss after setting aside more money for repaying customers and potential legal settlements.

The £153m loss for the six months to the end of June compares with a £1.43bn profit a year ago.

Speaking to the BBC's Simon Jack, Mr McEwan said the bank was dealing with ''a lot of issues from the past''.
