Eurozone crisis live: Spanish unemployment hits record high ahead of US GDP We start with some breaking news -- Spanish unemployment has hit a new record high. Government figures just released showed that the jobless rate jumped to 25% in the third quarter of 2012, up from 24.6% in the second three months of the year. More to follow.... Also coming up today.... For the second day running, the big news will probably come outside Europe. It's America's turn to release the first estimate of economic activity for the last three months. After the UK beat forecasts on Thursday and slid gracefully out of recession, the US third-quarter GDP is eagerly awaited. Not least with the presidential election just 11 days away... Concerns over the state of the US economy have been growing in recent days, with a swathe of global giants missing forecasts. This trend continues last night, with both Apple and Amazon failing to shine: Wall Street not impressed by iPad numbers - The Guardian Apple And Amazon Earnings Disappoint - Sky News Back on home turf, we face another day of negotiations between the Greek government and the troika.

We'll be tracking events in Athens through the day, and also covering all the reaction and analysis when the US GDP data is released this afternoon (at 1.30pm BST)
