Greece’s prime minister is due to hold talks with labour unions and trade federations ahead of a crucial visit by the country’s debt inspectors while Athens negotiates the terms of a second multimillion-euro international bailout.

GREECE will have to leave the eurozone if it fails to clinch a deal on a second, €130 billion bailout with its international lenders, a government spokesman has said.

FIRE burned through suburbs north of Athens early yesterday, destroying homes and forcing thousands to flee in nighttime evacuations, fire service and local officials said.
