Greeks Rage Ahead of Brussels Showdown

Greek protesters, why Greek banks want a deal now and the view from Brussels ahead of eurozone leaders' talks. Plus why Lucy Kellaway does not care about work.

We look over the Greek precipice as Athenian protesters express their support for their government and their rage at the conditions of the country's lenders. The Greek economy minister Georgios Stathakis tells us a deal is nearly done. But bankers remain concerned. Nikolaos Karamouzis, the Chairman of Eurobank, the fourth largest Greek bank, tells the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Robert Peston that it will be hard to guarantee the banks staying open if the ECB fails to maintain its support.

Plus, Lucy Kellaway of the Financial Times considers the curious popular obsession with being 'passionate' about your job. She wonders just how healthy this really is.
