Bolt from the blue

The new French President's plane was hit by lightening on his way to his first Euro crisis talk in Berlin with Angela Merkel yesterday.  The Falcon 7X aircraft was hit by lightning shortly after take-off. French President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel stressed their desire to keep the eurozone together just hours after France's new leader was inaugurated. With all eyes on their first-ever talks, the two leaders also vowed that the two European powerhouses were aware of their responsibilities and ready to help find solutions to the eurozone crisis.



Hanging over the meeting was the grim news from Athens, which is now set to hold another round of elections likely on June 17 after efforts to form a government after inclusive polls foundered, setting up yet another month of brinkmanship at the crippled heart of the eurozone.
