Greece PM: 'IMF backs our decision' over austerity measures

The prime minister of Greece, Alexis Tsipras, has made a televised address to the Greek nation.

He said the publication of an IMF report which said Greece should be given 20 years to recover was "an event of major political importance".

Mr Tsipras said it was up to the Greek public in Sunday's referendum to decide what happened next.
