A very good Eurogroup meeting for Greece and a very good Eurogroup meeting for Europe – that’s how Euclid Tsakalotos described Monday’s gathering with his fellow eurozone finance ministers.

The highly anticipated talks followed a weekend of massive and sometimes violent protests.

In this edition we analyse Greece’s efforts and perspectives on its way out of the crisis with Euronews’ Business correspondent in Athens Symela Touchtidou.

Also, in our IT-dedicated segment, we’ll see why Facebook is currently being accused of political bias in the US.
