Washington - as pressure grows on the EU and the IMF to pull Greece back from bankruptcy

Germany's Finance Minister says any failure by Greece to agree to tough new austerity measures could endanger the flow of financial aid from a bailout package being negotiated with the European Union and the International Monetary Fund. Wolfgang Schaeuble made the comments to the Sunday edition of Bild newspaper as talks on the rescue package continue at the IMF in Washington. The Greek government requested 45-Billion euros on Friday - with the money set to come from Eurozone countries and the IMF.
