Over three years, 80bn euros ($108bn, �0�570bn) can be drawn on. The eurozone countries are putting in two-thirds, the rest will come from the IMF. That is no small deal. This year the eurozone would make 30bn euros available with a further ten coming from the IMF. If Greece takes the money it will be one of the biggest rescues ever. The bail-outs of Argentina and Mexico would be put in the shade.The interest Greece will pay will be around 5%. That is less than the current market rates and will not please German taxpayers. Germany will be the biggest provider and some will argue that in the end they are subsidising bad behaviour.This is the final throw of the dice to see off the speculators. The Greek Prime Minister, George Papandreou, said: "No one, any longer, can play with the euro, no one can play with our common future."In Greece, this is increasingly being portrayed as a battle with speculators. The prime minister said a "gun was on the table" and it was about to be loaded. The target was the speculators. What both Athens and other European leaders hope is that market players who have been testing the will of the eurozone will back off knowing there is now a wall of money behind Greece. And it is still just possible that investors will be tempted into buying Greek bonds. It is also possible that as the financial markets analyse this deal the cost of financing the Greek deficit will fall. The first test comes on Tuesday when Athens will attempt to auction 1.2bn euros in treasury bills. By the end of May, Greece needs to borrow 11bn euros.But if Greece cannot raise the money it will call in the rescuers. The Greek prime minister will pick up a phone and admit to the European Commission that it cannot finance itself through the markets. The battle will have been lost.It will be touch-and-go whether Greece can survive without throwing in the towel. My sense is that the expectation is that Greece will need to call on the loans that are now available. If it happens, Europe's leaders will claim it signifies that the system works. "It shows that the eurozone is serious in doing what is necessary to secure financial stability," said the President of the Commission, Jose Manuel Barroso.That is true but it cannot disguise failure. There was no mechanism to help a country struggling with debt. Already there are those who are saying it will not be a bail-out because Greece would be saved by loans that are re-payable. Many will see this as playing with words. What if the loans cannot be re-paid? Will they just be rolled-over? And what if other countries like Portugal or even Spain run into difficulty? Will the same facility be made available to them and who will ultimately finance it? Not surprisingly, the Spanish finance minister said the deal "indicates a strengthening of the eurozone and stresses the principle of solidarity among the countries that comprise it". The vulnerable tend to be fans of solidarity.Down the road, other questions will come into play. What if Greece - deep in recession -cannot meet its target to reduce its deficit by 4% this year? What if the economy goes into freefall? What if countries sense they may not get their money back? If it appeared others might want rescuing, when would the German tax-payer cry "enough"? Can the single currency prosper without fiscal union - a step with profound political implications. Can the eurozone survive when its economies are so different?To stabilise the patient, it has taken a massive rescue plan but the eurozone will not be stable until the fundamental questions are addressed. All eyes will be on the financial markets. 不知道这份可以吗？

Hundreds of people have been killed in a massive earthquake in Japan that triggered a devastating tsunami. The quake -- the most powerful to hit Japan in more than 100 years -- caused massive damage and many people are missing and feared dead.The 8.9 magnitude quake struck Friday off Japan's eastern coast, and prompted tsunami warnings across the Pacific as far away as South America and the U.S. West Coast. The Red Cross warned that the 10-meter high tidal wave could wash over some small islands entirely.In Japan, the tsunami swept away boats, cars and hundreds of houses in coastal areas north of Tokyo.The quake shook buildings in the Japanese capital and caused several fires. All train and subway traffic in Tokyo has been stopped, and thousands of people there were unable to get back home.Authorities ordered the evacuation of about 3,000 people from the area around the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant north of Tokyo. No radiation leaks were detected, but officials are concerned the reactor's core may overheat due to a system malfunction. A fire was also reported earlier in the turbine building of the Onagawa nuclear plant in Miyagi.Addressing the nation, Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan said the government would do everything it can to minimize the effects of the disaster. And in Washington, President Barack Obama said the United States is ready to help the people of Japan. The U.S. military in Japan has opened up the Yokota Air Base to some commercial flights diverted from Japanese airports.日本的大规模地震造成数百人死亡。这次地震引发了毁灭性的海啸。这次日本100年来最强烈的地震造成大规模的损失，许多人失踪，甚至恐怕已经死亡。这次8.9级的地震星期五发生在日本东海岸125公里外，引发了环太平洋地区海啸警报，涉及范围远至南美地区和整个美国西海岸。红十字会警告说，10米高的巨浪可能将把一些小岛整个淹没。在日本，海啸冲走了东京以北的沿海地区的船只、汽车和数百幢房屋。地震震动了日本首都的建筑物，并引起了几起火灾。东京所有火车和地铁停止运行，数以千计的人无法回家。当局下令将东京以北的福岛核电厂周围大约3千人撤出这一地区。尽管没有探测到任何核泄漏，但官员们担心系统故障可能导致反应器的核心过热。早些时候的报导说，宫城县附近的女川核电厂发电机组发生火灾。日本首相菅直人向全国发表讲话。他说，政府将尽其所能把灾害的影响控制在最小程度。在华盛顿，美国总统奥巴马说，美国准备随时帮助日本人民。驻日美军向无法在日本机场降落的一些商业飞机开放了横田空军基地。
