How free is Greece’s media? I travel to my home town, Athens, to speak to journalists who have had their phones hacked by an advanced new spyware, been sued for defamation, and been under surveillance by the Greek intelligence agency.

Greece’s parliament has approved a controversial labour bill allowing employees to work up to 13 hours a day for the same employer. The government says it modernises the labour market - unions call it “the abolition of the eight-hour day.”

Very excited to announce a new programme for BBC World Service's Heart and Soul about a rebel group of monks living on Greece's Mount Athos. Presented by @NPanick, produced by Hester Underhill and @HunterCharlton3.

[Nikos Papanikolaou @NPanick]

Nikos Papanikolaou travels to Mount Athos (know as the "holy mountain") to meet Esphigmenou’s leader, Abbot Methodios. He’s come to hear about their radical interpretation of the faith and learn more about what’s being done to resolve the situation.

[Nikos Papanikolaou @NPanick]

On Greece’s Mount Athos, the most holy site in Eastern Orthodox Christianity, lies a rift in the faith. For more than 20 years, a banned monastery has operated illegally and at times violently towards their sacred community.

[Nikos Papanikolaou @NPanick]

This schismatic brotherhood broke away from the mainstream church decades ago, an act which has led to their excommunication and violent clashes with police after attempts to evict them from their monastery.

Journalists record the first draft of history. But in Gaza, reporting is falling solely to a small number of Palestinian journalists, who are paying a terrible cost. The BBC, with AFP, the AP and Reuters, are calling Israel for access to Gaza.
