Unclear future for Cypriots after 'painful' bailout deal

The Government in Cyprus has defended the last-minute bailout deal it negotiated with the European Union.

It means shutting down the country's second biggest bank, with many big savers facing huge losses.

President Nicos Anastasiades told his country that the deal would be painful but was the best outcome under the circumstances, while his ministers told reporters that leaving the Euro was never an option.
