Greek MPs back bailout reform plan
9 minutes ago Europe
Greece's parliament has backed a government package of economic reforms aimed at ending the country's debt crisis and securing a new bailout.
In a late-night debate, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras admitted many proposals fell short of his party's anti-austerity promises.
But he said there was a "national duty to keep our people alive and in the eurozone".
The proposals are to be studied by eurozone finance ministers later.
