Parliament in Cyprus has rejected an international bailout package which would have imposed a one-off tax on savings. Hundreds of protesters outside parliament cheered the result. Not a single MP voted for the deal despite an amendment sparing small savers. Mark Lowen is in Nicosia.

The bailout bill has been comprehensively rejected in parliament. Nobody voted in favor; 36 MPs voted against; 90 abstentions; one MP was absent from the chamber. Where does it go from here? Well, the whole bailout deal is in total disarray. Tomorrow there will be an emergency meeting between all the political party leaders and the president to try to hammer out some kind of plan B. There are frantic negotiations going on behind closed doors, between Cyprus and its international lenders. We know that the Cypriot president has been speaking to Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel but clearly the message has been that there has been a dramatic miscalculation along this way, in Brussels and here in Cyprus.

The former military ruler of Guatemala Efrain Rios Montt has gone on trial on charges of genocide and crimes against humanity. The hearing in Guatemala City relates to the killing of 1,700 indigenous people when Mr. Rios Montt led the country in the early 1980s. The UN High Commission for Human Rights says it’s the first time a former head of state has faced such charges in a national court. Mr. Rios Montt who is 86 denies the allegations.
