Greece Eurozone Bailout Talks: Merkel and Juncker Confirm Agreement


Eurozone leaders have reached a tentative agreement on a new bailout deal for Greece as the country teetered on the brink of economic collapse.

Following all-night talks in Brussels, European Council president Donald Tusk said the agreement would allow financial support to Athens to continue.

"There are strict conditions to be met. Nevertheless, the decision gives Greece the chance to get back on track with the support of European partners," he said.

"It also avoids the social, economic and political consequences that a negative outcome would have brought."
