It's time to stop today's live blog before we crash into tomorrow here in London.

And what an exciting day it's been, with the Greek parliament narrowly approving the country's €13.5bn austerity package after a tense vote, a long debate, and occasional moments of farce in the Athens assembly.

The vote took place after tens of thousands of people took to the streets of the Greek capital to protest about the package. Initially peaceful, the protests were marred by violent scenes and clashes between riot police and a small group of protesters.

The ongoing eurozone crisis helped to send shares falling sharply in the financial markets, with the Dow Jones tumbling by 312 points.

There were plenty of reasons to be gloomy -- the EC slashed its growth forecasts, German and Spanish industrial production data miss forecasts, and Mario Draghi warning that the European economy was in poor shape.

Thanks for reading and commenting, as ever....

...and I'm particularly grateful to those people in Athens who we've been quoting and referencing over the last couple of days.

Good night!
