Greece today - George Papandreou calls referendum on EU deal / Η Ελλάδα σήμερα - Γιώργος Παπανδρέου ζητά δημοψήφισμα για την ΕΕ αφορούν
http://www.euronews.net/ The Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou has called a referendum on a new EU aid package to ask voters whether they want it or not.
A "no" vote could throw the question of the country's solvency up in the air again, raising more serious questions for the euro zone.
The prime minister said a referendum was the "highest form of democracy" and would allow the people to decide.
He also said a vote of no-confidence would be held, but ruled out elections. No date was set but the referendum should take place in the next few weeks.

Ο Έλληνας Πρωθυπουργός Γιώργος Παπανδρέου ζήτησε δημοψήφισμα για ένα νέο πακέτο βοήθειας της ΕΕ να ζητήσει από τους ψηφοφόρους είτε το θέλουν είτε όχι.
Ένα «όχι» θα μπορούσε να ρίξει το ζήτημα της φερεγγυότητας της χώρας στον αέρα και πάλι, αυξάνοντας περισσότερο σοβαρά ερωτήματα για τη ζώνη του ευρώ.
Ο πρωθυπουργός είπε ότι το δημοψήφισμα ήταν η «ανώτερη μορφή δημοκρατίας" και θα επιτρέψει στο λαό να αποφασίσει.
Είπε επίσης σε ψήφο μη εμπιστοσύνης θα διεξαχθεί, αλλά απέκλεισε τις εκλογές. Δεν ορίστηκε ημερομηνία, αλλά το δημοψήφισμα θα πρέπει να πραγματοποιηθεί μέσα στις επόμενες εβδομάδες.

OECD warns leader must act to avoid recession
Published on Oct 31, 2011 by Euronews
http://www.euronews.net/ The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development is forecasting a sharp slowdown next year for the euro zone.
Its downbeat outlook came just days before a summit of leaders of the G20 world's largest economies.
The OECD warned if those leaders fail to restore confidence in battered state finances it could lead to a major contraction in developed countries.
The economic think-tank has dramatically slashed its growth forecast for next year for the euro area to 0.3 percent; back in May it was talking about two percent.

Plot
In 19th-century China, seven year old girls Snow Flower and Lily are matched as laotong - or "old sames" - bound together for eternity. Isolated by their families, they furtively communicate by taking turns writing in a secret language, nu shu, between the folds of a white silk fan. In a parallel story in present day Shanghai, the laotong's descendants, Nina and Sophia, struggle to maintain the intimacy of their own childhood friendship in the face of demanding careers, complicated love lives, and a relentlessly evolving Shanghai. Drawing on the lessons of the past, the two modern women must understand the story of their ancestral connection, hidden from them in the folds of the antique white silk fan, or risk losing one another forever
