The latest news are that Árni Mathiesen, our minister of finances says that he finds it highly improbable that there was any misunderstanding between him and Alistair Darling, that they had discussed the Landsbanki situation, but that Kaupþing was not mentioned.
Although I would not be so certain that the Icelandic media will report in favour of Icelandic officials, they seem to be none too happy with them. I personally don't think I am qualified to say one way or the other, but there have been calls for all three heads of the central bank to resign, and some ministers as well. One person on the board of the Central bank has already officially resigned and challenged the three heads to do the same, in the light that efforts are failing.
