On today's programme, we'll build-up as detailed a picture as we can of what's happening in Greece with the help of people who are there. And we'll reflect on the newspaper columns and blog posts around the world taking different perspectives on the crisis. If you've seen a piece you'd like to recommend, pls post the link.

This is where we are with Greece:

- a 48-hour general strike has begun

- the protests in Athens have turned violent

- Jurgen Stark, a member of the European Central Bank's Executive Board, has said Greece defaulting on its debt repayments could overshadow the collapse of Lehman Brothers

- the vote in the Greek parliament on the austerity measures that the eurozone and the IMF have made a pre-requisite for a second bail-out is tomorrow

Speak to you about it all later.
