ST PETERSBURG ECONOMIC FORUM LOOKS EAST

Thousands of business executives are in the Russian city of St Petersburg with the government hoping the annual economic forum there can be a show of strength in the face of western sanctions over Ukraine.

Leaders from the oil industry have turned out in large numbers with Russian oil and gas reserves now estimated to have jumped above 100 billion barrels for the first time.

But as well as positivity from the oil sector, Russian President Vladimir Putin hopes also to play up Moscow's attempts to boost trade ties with Asia and other emerging markets.

EURO FIN MINS MEET IN LUXEMBOURG WITH NO GREEK DEAL IN SIGHT

Eurozone finance ministers are gathering in Luxembourg for talks amid growing pessimism they will reach an agreement over Greece's debts.

Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis says his country has a 'political and moral duty' to find a deal with international creditors, but that it's unlikely to happen at Thursday's summit.

Lenders want Greece to agree to further reforms to release bailout cash, but Athens insists it has gone far enough already with austerity.

Greece could go bankrupt this month if bailout funds aren't released, which could trigger a eurozone and even EU exit.
