Alexis Tsipras to propose holding snap elections on 20 September (video)

Alexis Tsipras has confirmed he is resigning as Greek Prime Minister - paving the way for a general election to take place within the next 30 days.
There had been considerable speculation that an early vote would take place after Mr Tsipras secured a three-year, €86bn bailout package from creditors.

Although he was only elected Prime Minister seven months ago, several Syriza MPs have expressed opposition to the rescue plan - not least because of the punishing austerity measures they will bring.
