Greek bank chief urges debt deal

The head of Greece's biggest bank has said she hopes "sanity will prevail" and that a deal will be agreed at emergency talks on Monday on the country's debt crisis.

Louka Katseli, chair of the National Bank of Greece, told the BBC that banks were not under immediate threat of running out of money but that the liquidity shortage would "become severe" if the situation continued.

Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras will meet the leaders of the 18 other eurozone nations at a Brussels summit on Monday.
