Finance ministers meet over Greek's new debt plan

Greece’s new finance minister has sought to convince his sceptical German counterpart to back a new approach on Greek debt – but an agreement still appears to be a long way off.

Meeting for the first time since the anti-bailout party Syriza took power in Athens, Yanis Varoufakis and Wolfgang Schaeuble held talks in the German capital Berlin about how to move ahead over Greece’s attempts to renegotiate the terms of its debts.
