Eurozone braces for Greek exit as Athens threatens to miss IMF payment

Greece's prime minister Alexis Tsipras says the fixation on cuts is 'most likely part of a political plan to humiliate an entire people'

Greece's prime minister has said the International Monetary Fund has "criminal responsibility" for the country's debt crisis as it emerged Athens could miss a a1.6bn (1.15bn) payment to the lender this month.
