Teleconference late Thurs. between Tsipras, Merkel, Hollande

Accelerated developments — mostly negative — mean that German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Francois Hollande will again speak with Greek PM Alexis Tsipras on Thursday evening (21.30 GMT), via a teleconference.
Thursday’s long-distance video chat will be the second time this week that the three leaders have conferred. The latest teleconference comes hours after Athens requested from the IMF that it bundle its payments to the Fund this month.
