Spain became the fourth and largest country Saturday to ask Europe to rescue its failing banks, a bailout of up to €100 billion ($125 billion) that leaders hoped would stabilize a financial crisis that threatens to break apart the 17-country eurozone. The rescue offer follows growing pressure from international investors and the Obama administration and comes a week before elections in Greece, whose voters could decide whether the country leaves the euro. Europe's widening recession and financial crisis has hurt companies and investors around the world. Providing a financial lifeline to Spanish banks is likely to relieve anxiety on the Spanish economy — which is five times larger than Greece's — and on markets concerned about the country's ability to pay its way. "What the markets are looking for is essentially the Spanish government's acceptance that its banks are broke," said Jacob Kirkegaard, a research fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington. Economy Minister Luis de Guindos announced the deal after an emergency conference call with eurozone financial leaders. He said the aid will go to the banking sector only and would not come with new austerity conditions attached for the economy in general — conditions that have been an integral part of previous bailouts to Portugal, Ireland and Greece.

www.euronews.com Despite the hand over of Bagram to Afghan authorities the US has said it will keep control of at least one block at the controversial jail. Speaking to euronews NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen explained the reasoning behind Washington's decision. "The transfer of detainees to Afghan responsibility is part of the overall transition of security responsibility to the Afghans, but obviously, we also have to strike the right balance between Afghan sovereignty and security for the Afghan security forces and our troops." The prison's transfer comes ahead of full foreign troop withdrawal from Afghanistan, almost 11 years since the terrorist attacks on the US prompted outside intervention. "The purpose was, and it remains, to prevent the country from once again becoming a safe haven for terrorists who could use it as a launching pad for attacks against our societies. And in that respect our operation has been a great success. We have not seen terrorists launch attacks against our countries rooted in Afghanistan.'' The decision to hold on to a part of Bagram has angered Kabul which wants full control of the jail ,now known as the Parwan Detention Centre, seeing it as a matter of national sovereignty.
