If you're a Greek speaker or just want to watch the body language, there's a live link here.

Here's what he's said so far:

As it turns out the last minute has now been kicked down the road by three weeks - Greece is going to bundle the four payments it owes to the IMF this month, which run to €1.5 billion (£1.1 billion, $1.69 billion) in total. That way, the payment isn't due until June 30.

This week Greece's creditors sent Athens a proposal for a deal, and Athens sent their own proposal to the creditor institutions.
