While Europe holds its breath ahead of a Greek election that’s very much up in the air, the French and the Germans trade barbs over how to save the euro.

THE WORLD THIS WEEK - Friday, November the 12th - part 1

After voters back home, Barack Obama’s now lost his lustre abroad, failing to woo his counterparts at the G-20 summit in Seoul. Also, a folksy George W.

Joining François Picard in The World This Week are Eric Pfanner, Christopher Dickey, Judah Grunstein and Dave Clarke.
