ATHENS: Greece's freshly-elected Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras unveiled his new cabinet on Tuesday, giving the crisis-hit country's key finance portfolio back to Euclid Tsakalotos, a leftwing economist determined to keep Greece in the euro.

The 55-year-old Oxford-educated Tsakalotos faces the thankless task of steering a slew of unpopular economic reforms agreed by Tsipras with Europe's leaders in July, in return for Greece's third financial rescue in five years.
