Greece austerity programme on track

Greece's International lenders have cleared the way for the country to receive the next installment of its $150bn bailout package.

Meanwhile, rubbish collectors in Athens, Greece's capital, have been on strike for days, protesting cuts in wages and benefits imposed by austerity measures.
