Eurozone finance ministers have agreed on a bailout for Cyprus. It will become the fifth international rescue package in three years of the debt crisis.
The €10 billion deal followed 10 hours of talks between EU leaders and the head of the IMF in Brussels.
The package will involve an unprecedented levy on all deposits in Cypriot banks.
