Cyprus officials due in Brussels for crunch talks

Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades and party leaders are due in Brussels for last-ditch talks on how to secure crucial EU funding.

Cyprus has to raise 5.8bn euros (£4.9bn; $7.5bn) before Monday to qualify for a 10bn-euro bailout.

Parliament voted on Friday to restructure the island's banks, set up a "national solidarity fund", and establish capital controls.

Andrew Walker reports from Brussels.
