Greece in talks over €2bn cuts

Greece has held a fresh round of talks with foreign lenders to sort out any differences over €2 billion (£1.6bn) of disputed austerity cuts.

Time is running out to clinch a deal before a key meeting of eurozone ministers next week.

Athens has been haggling over €12bn worth of cutbacks that its European Union and International Monetary Fund lenders have refused to sign off on over fears some of the proposed savings are unlikely to materialise.
