German Chancellor Merkel votes at the session of the Bundestag lower house of parliament in Berlin
German Chancellor Angela Merkel walks after voting at the session of the Bundestag lower house of parliament in Berlin, September 29, 2011. Germany's parliament approved new powers for the euro zone's crisis fund on Thursday but it was not clear if Angela Merkel got enough votes from her coalition to silence rebels worried about funding a series of bailouts of countries like Greece.
