PROBLEM: There were furious scenes in the Greek parliament today as politicians ripped up papers outlining the terms of the country's €86 billion bailout deal and threw them at Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras. Politicians gathered in Athens this afternoon to debate the draconian reforms Tsipras agreed to implement during crunch overnight talks with eurozone leaders earlier this week.
