Night of Anger: Greece 'welcomes' bailout bill with unrest and riots

Unrest and anger - that's how the Greeks have welcomed biting new government cut backs - just voted in by the country's parliament. The new bill will dramatically slash pensions, put a freeze on public sector pay and hike taxes. The austerity measures are a pre-condition for 110 billion euros in international loans to save the Greek economy. But as Igor Ogorodnev reports, it could also lead to months of violence on the streets.

@leonidas512 You Belgian moron! You don't know what you're talking about. Who stole from whom? Germany still owes Greece hundreds of billions (in Euro), because they never paid WWII compensations, as they ought to do. They even included a clause in their latest "loan" that Greece should not raise any further demands on that.
