Greek politicians debate austerity bill ahead of proposed bailout

Greek politicians are debating an austerity bill ahead of a vote that will condemn the country to years of more budget savings, but is needed to get a desperately needed new bailout.

The raft of consumer tax increases and pension reforms has led to growing anger among Greece's governing left-wing Syriza party, while the country's civil servants' union voiced its objections with a 24-hour public sector strike.
