Greek debt crisis:MPs approve bailout plan but some Syriza 

German MPs have started debating a motion on whether to allow negotiations on Greece's 60 billion pounds bailout deal.

Opening the debate, Chancellor Angela Merkel warned of "predictable chaos" if deputies do not back the plan.

The deal is expected to be passed despite opposition from the left and some members of her conservative party.

Greek MPs have already voted in favour of hard-hitting austerity measures required for a third bailout deal.

Yesterday, the European Central Bank (ECB) raised the level of emergency funding available.

This has paved the way for Greek banks, which shutdown nearly three weeks ago, to reopen on Monday.
