Woman takes to Athens office window ledge

This is the dramatic moment a Greek woman threatened to jump from an Athens office block - because she was about to lose her job because of the euro debt crisis.

Lambrousi Harikleia said she would commit suicide from the second floor of the Labour Housing Organisation building which has been earmarked for closure.

The suicide threat came after Greece's Public Order Minister Christos Papoutsis had warned: 'Greece has made all the efforts that it needed to do, and the people cannot take any more.'

Local media reported that she was eventually led away to safety. But it seems unlikely the eurozone is going to have the same happy ending as today it took another step forward to its implosion.

The EU Conservative leader said Brussels should prepare for Greece to leave the euro, while Italian prime minister Mario Monti said Germany and France should share the blame for the crisis.

Greece is currently under severe pressure from the eurozone to make an extra 325million euros of savings as it tried to qualify for a 130billion euro rescue package.

Mr Papoutsis added: 'The government is making superhuman efforts and we have reached the limits of the social and economic system. From now on, Europe has to take the responsibility.'

But, some eurozone countries also revealed they had strong doubts over whether a second massive bailout could actually save Greece.
