European Leaders Hold Emergency Talks on Greece 
------------------------------------------------


 
European leaders are holding emergency talks in Brussels today on
Greece's financial future. Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has
presented a new proposal for reforms which the European Commission
called a "good basis for progress." The offer is seen as Greece's last
chance to avoid defaulting on a payment to the International Monetary
Fund at the end of the month. Thousands of Greeks rallied in Athens
Sunday urging their leaders to stand firm against austerity.
