| Uploaded by democracynow on 29 Jun 2011 DemocracyNow.org - The Greek parliament was set to approve a $40 billion package of spending cuts, tax increases and privatizations as a condition for a massive bailout to avert the Eurozone's first default. Without a new plan in place, the European Union and International Monetary Fund said they would withhold 12 billion euros of loans which Greece needs to repay debts due in mid-July. Meanwhile, French Finance Minister Christine Lagarde has been named the new chief of the International Monetary Fund. She received backing from the United States and Europe and key emerging market nations, including China, India and Brazil. The first woman to hold the position, she begins her five-year term on July 5. In her first public comments following her appointment, Lagarde urged Greek politicians to unite to avoid a debt default. We are joined by Mark Weisbrot, an economist and the co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research. | |

| Iraq prepares for US troop withdrawal | |
| Uploaded by AlJazeeraEnglish on 28 Jun 2011 In less than six months, the 45, 000 remaining US troops still deployed in Iraq will leave the country. When the US led the invasion of Iraq beginning on March 20th, 2003 it had a force of 150,000 American troops and 23,000 soldiers from other countries. After Baghdad fell 20 days later US troop levels dropped to around 127,000 by June 2006, With 20,000 soldiers from coalition countries. But as violence again escalated in January 2007, US president George Bush proposed sending another 21,500 troops. By October there were 171,000 American fighters in the country and 12,000 soldiers from other nations. In February 2009, newly elected US president Barack Obama announced that the US combat mission in Iraq would end by the end of August 2010 Withdrawals began in June 2009. Now there are still around 45,000 American troops in Iraq, responsible for training Iraqi forces. But for Iraq's Kurds, the scheduled withdrawal is a big concern, as they try to resolve disputes over territory. With the second of a four-part series on Iraqi security, here's Al Jazeera's Omar Al Saleh, followed by an interview with Mamdouh Salameh, an international oil economist based in London. | |
