Greece protests

At least three people have been killed in the Greek capital as protesters set fire to a bank during a general strike over planned austerity measures.



The protest became violent, with petrol bombs thrown at police who responded with pepper spray and tear gas.



Protesters are upset about the spending cuts and tax rises planned in return for a 110 billion euro bail-out for Greece.



Parliament is to vote on the measures by the end of the week.



A police spokesman said the three victims, two women and a man were among 20 people working in the Marfin bank branch on Stadiou Avenue in central Athens when the petrol bomb was thrown.
