'The beginning of the end of the eurozone': Greek PM predicts his nation's 'Grexit' will cause the COLLAPSE of Europe's currency

The warning from Alexis Tsipras (top left) comes after an emergency meeting of leaders was called for Monday - in a last-ditch effort to stop Greece crashing out of the euro. European finance ministers met yesterday in a bid to strike a deal unlocking billions of pounds in new loans needed by the Greek government to avoid bankruptcy. The Greek government needs extra funds by the end of the month in order to pay public sector salaries and pensions - and a looming £1.1billion repayment to the International Monetary Fund. Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis (bottom right at an EU finance ministers meeting in Luxembourg today) admitted his country was unlikely to reach a deal over its debt crisis despite a 'political and moral duty' to do so. Meanwhile, thousands of demonstrators (centre) rallied in front of the Greek Parliament in Athens to support the country's place in the Eurozone.
