Greece and eurozone in stalemate over debt burden

``Greece has an immediate short-term financing crisis that may come to a head on March 1 if there is no breakthrough. The current bailout programme expires on February 28. Varoufakis has acknowledged the short-term funding gap by calling for bridging finance from the eurozone to see Greece through until the end of May and to supply breathing space for the elaboration of a new and less onerous funding deal with the eurozone tied to economic reforms at home.''
