The Greek government said it would miss its budget-deficit targets for this year and next, blaming the country's deepening recession. Euro-zone finance ministers turned the thumbscrews by saying they would not hand over the latest tranche of bail-out funding to Greece, worth €8 billion ($10.7 . billion), until mid-November, a month later than planned. Greek unions held another general strike to protest against austerity measures.
