Cyprus bailout: Document 'frustrates' bank managers

Documents which should tell Cypriot bank managers how much they can allow customers to withdraw from Thursday do not include any figures.

The BBC's Paul Mason in the capital Nicosia says: "Every figure in this document has the word 'euro' and two x's".

Crowds have taken to the streets in anger over measures detailed in the document, which include limiting euro exports and a ban on customers cashing cheques.
