Eurozone Ministers Consider $171 Billion Greek Bailout 
-------------------------------------------------------



Eurozone finance ministers are expected to approve a second bailout
worth $171 billion for Greece today. The vote comes one day after
thousands of Greeks took to the streets to protest against austerity
measures. Stathis Anestis, a Greek union leader, spoke out.

Stathis Anestis: "They are insisting on a policy that is choking us,
that is driving us to catastrophe. They have to understand that in real
life, this policy is disastrous for both society and the economy. That
is why we continue to protest, and we will continue as long as they keep
insisting on these dead-end policies."
