As in any long-term relationship, the words "trust" and "respect" are coming up a lot in discussions between Greece and the rest of the euro zone. “The most important currency has been lost and that is trust,” said German Chancellor Angela Merkel, ahead of today's talks in Brussels. 

French President Francois Hollande is committed to finding a way to keep Greece in the euro zone, but Merkel said a deal would not be reached "at any price." And she is not alone in questioning whether Greece will deliver on the reforms — things like tax hikes and pension cuts — that finance ministers want before they will agree to new rescue loans. So basically, European leaders are like "You say you'll change, but how can we be sure?" Sound like any conversations you've had with a partner? 

No? How about this? Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said Greece really does want to compromise, but only if it gets the respect it deserves. Tsipras said Greece wants the euro zone to extend it a bailout deal, but only one that "respects the Greek people" and everything they have been through over the last five years. 

And so talks continue. Frustrated and tired, finance ministers have gathered for a second day to try and resolve the clear divisions within the euro zone over Greece. A draft document reportedly includes a German proposal for Greece to set aside 50 billion euros in assets as a guarantee it will act on promised reforms. The draft will eventually be submitted to the euro zone leaders. Stay tuned as our coverage of this particular long-term relationship gets even longer. 

Elsewhere, talks seem to be making more headway. Iran nuclear negotiations have entered what France described as the "final phase," but Washington warned major issues must still be overcome. There's a deadline Monday for an agreement and hopes are for a breakthrough in time.

This is the stuff of a screenplay. Like Shawshank Redemption, minus the redemption. Drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman escaped through a one-mile long tunnel that was dug under the shower space of his prison cell in central Mexico. Security cameras lost sight of Guzman late Saturday, and when guards went into the cell they found a hole 33 feet deep with a ladder.

The hole led to a huge tunnel with a ventilation and light system. Its exit was in a building that was under construction. A motorcycle on a rail system was found in the tunnel and is believed to have been used to transport tools and remove earth from the space.

This is the second time that Guzman has broken out of prison. The last time, in 2001, he hid in a laundry basket to escape from a prison in western Jalisco state.

And just one more thing about Greece. It's not just stuck in a major debt crisis. It's also at Europe's gateway for migrants risking it all to flee poverty and war in their home countries. According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, 48,000 arrived in the country in the first half of this year alone.

In the midst of the country’s economic collapse, the ruling Syriza party has embarked on controversial reforms to Greece's immigration system that have left hundreds of thousands of migrants trapped in legal purgatory — without documents or money. As Greece sinks, so do migrants' hopes of supporting their families back home. And with no papers, most can’t return home. Not that they'd be able to afford the trip. 

“Immigration is a huge problem that has created a lot of fights,” says Nikos, an employee at a local betting shop in Piraeus. “We would like to help them. But maybe we are not the best country to give them help. We can’t help ourselves.”

Strange but true:

Ultimate Frisbee usually conjures images of co-eds on the lawns of American colleges. But as unlikely as it sounds, Ultimate Frisbee has spread all across India, uniting Indians of disparate backgrounds, and culminating in the creation of India’s first under-23 team.

Most sports in India have high cost barriers, particularly cricket, but Ultimate has brought together men and women of different castes, wealth, background, religions, and languages. Crowdfunding is enabling the team, which includes teenagers from the slums as well as wealthy graduate students, to fly to London for the world championships in mid-July.
