Hello, I’m Stuart Makentash with the BBC news.
The Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has announced his resignation and called for fresh elections. In a live televised address he said his government had fought hard to secure a new international bailout for Greece and was now time for the nation to pass judgment on the deal. “You, with your vote, will decide if this agreement we achieved is enough for the dead-end we have reached to be overcome, for the economy to be rebound and for us to finally extricate ourselves from bailouts and austerity.”
Mr. Tsipras has faced strong opposition within his left wing Syriza Party after agreeing to introduce tough austerity measures in exchange for ninety-five billion dollar package. But Y.P. From the Greek newspaper P. Says he’s still quite popular. “People still give him the benefit to the thousand of the course. They haven’t yet felt the sting of the new measures that the government has been made to pass in order to get acceptance of the third bailout.”
The French far right National Front Party has expelled its founder Jean-Marie Le Pen. His expulsion is the combination of an increasingly bitter family feud involving Mr. Le Pen and his daughter Marine who became party leader four years ago. A.P. has more.
“When Marine Le Pen took over as leader in 2011 she set out to broaden the party’s appeal and move it to the political main stream. That man distancing yourself from her father and his reputation for racist and anti-Semitic outbursts. In April, he repeated comments that had shocked France in 1987 describing the gas chambers as a mere detail of history. He also recently said France should get along with Russia to save the white world. This was the final straw for Marine Le Pen who said he was hell bend on committing on political suicide.”

Police in Denmark say they are hunting two thieves who walked out of the Copenhagen Museum with the renowned work of art without anybody noticing. The theft for bust by the sculptor Auguste Rodin thought to be worth three hundred thousand dollars happened more than a month ago but footage of the audacious operation has just been released. John M. reports.
“CCTV in Copenhagen’s takadge shows two men dressed as tourists walking into the museum’s Rodin room, removing the bust from its plane and causally walking out. The whole operation served just twelve minutes. The bust, known as ‘the man with the broken nose’, is part of a collection of the French artists’ works that the museum says is unique outside of France. Danish police say they believe the thieves visited the museum a week before the theft in order to loosen the sculpture from its base and disable the alarm.”
