With euro zone finance ministers also due to decide on Friday on the bailout, the International Monetary Fund made clear it would participate in the programme only if Europe agreed to ease Greece's huge debt burden. Days after striking a deal with foreign creditors, Tsipras is asking parliament to approve a bailout agreement that pledges tax rises and spending cuts in exchange for 85 billion euros ($95 billion) in fresh loans.
