Greeks strike over new austerity measures
- 12 years ago
Mass protests and strikes hits Athens as anger mounts over a new wave of severe austerity cuts by Greek government.

That's the latest step to persuade lenders to hand over 11 billion dollars in bailout funds to avoid a default.
But that decision has provoked a furious reaction, as Nadim Baba reports from Athens.
