Mr Papademos says the priority is looking to the future to vote through last month's bailout package so Greece can continue to get its international loan and calm fears that it could yet leave the euro.

The chairman of News International, James Murdoch, has reaffirmed to a panel of British MPs that he did not know at the time that illegal phonehackingwas widespread at one of his newspapers, the now defunct News of the World. Here's our political correspondent Robin Brant.

This was James Murdoch's second showing in front of the committee. MPs wanted to ask him aboutinconsistenciesin the evidence that they've heard. He was insistent, though, he hadn't been shown a crucial email, nor had its significance been explained to him. The most dramatic moment, though, was when the Labour MP Tom Watson called him a mafia boss, something he said was offensive.

Police in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil say they have arrested the city's most wanted drug gang leader. The capture of Antonio Bonfim Lopes, known as Nem, came as police prepared to take control of Rocinha, Rio's biggest slum district. James Read of our America's desk reports.

Rio's most wanted drug suspect was found in the boot of a car that was stopped at a police checkpoint as it was leaving Rocinha. The driver reportedly claimed to be the Congolese honorary consul and then offered officers a huge bribe before his human cargo was discovered. Antonio Bonfim Lopes is alleged to be the leader of the drugs gang that controls Rocinha, Rio's biggest shantytown. It appears he was trying to escape the area before police moved in. The planned operation is the latest stage in a programme to reduce violent crime in Rio before the football World Cup in 2014.

经过几天的猜测和争议，即将担任欧洲最不讨好职位的人选露出水面：64岁的欧洲央行前副行长卢卡斯.帕帕季莫斯。他过去的经历或许会给欧洲领导人一些信心，但目前希腊民众对银行家不怎么喜欢，是否能赢得他们的支持，还是个问题。帕帕季莫斯说，首要的问题，是展望未来，为上月的救助计划进行投票，使希腊能继续得到国际贷款，平息人们对脱离欧元的担心。
