Greek ministers rebel over bailout deal

Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras faced open revolt from some of his own ministers as he sought support for a bailout deal that, while saving the country from financial collapse, will cause years of more pain for Greece.

The government must pass a raft of measures through the Greek Parliament by Wednesday night, including consumer tax increases and pension reforms, in order to start negotiations with European creditors on a third bailout worth as much as €85bn.
