An IMF study has shown that Greece needs far more debt relief than European governments have been willing to contemplate so far. It comes as Greece's parliament debates the tough bailout reforms which threaten to break Syriza apart. Kirsty Basset reports.
Greece's bailout review must be concluded immediately, says the prime minister's office. As Sonia Legg reports, the call came as bailout talks resumed amid tensions after the leak of a transcript in which IMF officials apparently mooted tactics to get a deal.
Euro zone finance ministers have approved Greece's 86 billion-euro deal, but now German Chancellor Angela Merkel needs to reassure skeptical lawmakers that the IMF will take part in Greece' third bailout, ahead of a vote on Wednesday. Ciara Lee reports.
Former leftist prime minister Alexis Tsipras casts his vote in the second round of Greece's general elections at a polling station in Athens, with the leader of the opposition Syriza party facing an uphill battle to overturn a more than 20 percentage point deficit against conservative front-runner Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

Kyriakos Mitsotakis casts his vote in Greece's second round of general elections in five weeks, with the conservative front-runner seeking a second term and an absolute parliamentary majority to form a "stable government". The 55-year-old Harvard graduate, who steered Greece from the coronavirus pandemic back to two consecutive years of strong growth, had already scored a thumping win in an election just a month ago. But having fallen short of five seats in parliament to be able to form a single-party government, Mitsotakis chose to ask 9.8 million Greek voters back to the ballot boxes. IMAGES
