Greek pensioners have staged a rally in the streets of Athens to protest against deeper pension cuts introduced by the government. They say draconian austerity policies imposed since 2012 have slashed household incomes by 67 billion euros and cut most pensions by 45 percent. Press TV correspondent Constantine Venizelos reports from the Greek capital.
