Seems there was a fairly substantial landslide last night on the Argostoli-Fiskardo road near to the new bridge by Myrtos Bay. Reports so far conclude there's no threat to the ongoing bridge works.

Why is Greece back in the headlines?

Greece is back in the news after eurozone governments and the International Monetary Fund fell out once again over how to handle the country's bailout.

The IMF says Greece needs more leeway to pay its mountainous debts before further rescue funds can be released.

But the eurozone, which has already given the country significant debt relief, is reluctant to go much further.

With major repayments due later this year, can the two sides come to an agreement before Greece's financial situation becomes untenable?
