Saved! Oh no, wait...

The breather proves short-lived after Greek elections that see the pro-euro centre-right come out narrowly ahead. As markets worry about the eurozone’s daunting debt level, François Picard’s panel argues over whether it’s Berlin that now faces the heat amid pressure to come up with a "grand plan" at next week’s EU summit.

US mid-terms: the new rules of the House (part 2)

There's no other way to call it: Barack Obama has suffered the political equivalent of a bloody nose. Tonight, he’s coming to terms with the biggest political upset of his career. In their biggest congressional victory in 62 years, Republicans have won control of the House of Representatives, and made gains in the Senate as well.
