Greek MPs debate controversial austerity plan

The Greek parliament is debating an unpopular austerity bill demanded in return for a 130bn-euro ($170bn; £110bn) bailout to avoid default.

PM Lucas Papademos earlier warned that failure to pass the package would "set the country on a disastrous adventure".

Some MPs from the governing parties are expected to vote against the package.

Outside parliament, police fired tear gas to disperse protesters - a BBC correspondent there said petrol bombs were thrown by angry demonstrators.
