Greek govt wins confidence vote in parliament
Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has secured a parliamentary confidence vote after pledging not to return to austerity or bailout programs. Lawmakers voted 162-137 for Tsipras and his leftist Syriza party government. The backing of 162 deputies in the 300-seat parliament comes from a coalition with the right-wing, anti-bailout Independent Greeks party. The support vote comes ahead of Thursday's eurozone EU leaders meeting aimed at discussing Greece's future.
