www.euronews.com The European Central Bank is to buy the government bonds of struggling eurozone countries' like Spain and Italy to lower their borrowing costs, but there will be strict conditions attached. Seeking to back up his July pledge to do whatever it takes to preserve the euro, ECB President Mario Draghi said the new plan, aimed at the secondary market, would address bond market distortions and "unfounded" fears of investors about the survival of the euro. The ECB chief stressed they would only help countries that signed up to and implemented strict policy conditions, with the eurozone's rescue fund also buying their bonds, and preferably with the IMF involved in designing and monitoring the conditions. Draghi said they have to repair Europe's broken borrowing system: "The European monetary area now is fragmented... the actions we have decided today are geared to repairing monetary policy transmission channels... a way of saying it is that these decisions are necessary to restore our capacity to pursue the objective of price stability in the euro area, they are necessary to restore the singleness of monetary policy in the euro area." The new programme will focus on bonds maturing within three years. Potentially there are no limits on it, but Draghi insisted it does not break ECB rules. The Germans are not so sure. Jens Weidmann of the Bundesbank did not support the plan. The Bundesbank chief had expressed concern that intervening in the bond market would break <b>...</b>

Lakhdar Brahimi, who has succeeded Kofi Annan's role as a special envoy to Syria, told Al Jazeera that "change [in Syria] is necessary, indispensable, unavoidable". Brahimi, as joint United Nations-Arab League envoy, is tasked with mediating a seemingly intractable conflict between President Bashar al-Assad's increasingly embattled government and rebels who say they will not lay down their arms until he is dead or gone. Brahimi, a longtime UN diplomat and former foreign minister of Algeria, stopped short of calling for Assad to step down. "Kofi talked to him, and I will talk to him," he said.

Much of the rage is directed at Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad, a US-educated economist who oversees the government's finances. In Hebron, about 50 men hurled shoes at a large poster of Fayyad that had the words "Depart, Fayyad" scrawled underneath. The rallies are the largest show of popular discontent with the governing Palestinian Authority in its 18-year history.

EurActiv article: www.euractiv.com After an election campaign dominated by the euro zone crisis, the Netherlands will go to the polls on Wednesday in what could be a decisive day for Europe. Caretaker Prime Minister Mark Rutte is currently leading the polls with 35 seats in the 150-seat parliament. His center-right, pro-austerity VVD party is expected to form a coalition government. However, the outcome of the election is still uncertain as many voters remain undecided. 'The day after tomorrow is election day in the Netherlands, quite important for Europe. So it is of course important for political parties and so on. It's quite important for Europe, will there be a government afterwards, European oriented or is it "pull out the plug and we are living in out island", Commissioner for Digital Agenda Neelie Kroes said at a Lisbon Council event. Dutch citizens are getting increasingly frustrated over recent austerity cuts imposed by Brussels. They are also becoming weary of continuous demands for financial aid to bailout debt-ridden countries. Rutte's government collapsed in April when his ally, far-right PVV's leader Geert Wilders refused to support further austerity measures. While Wilders is unlikely to make it into government, some experts believe that his anti- immigration and anti-Europe views have forced mainstream parties to become more Euro skeptic. Only recently, Prime Minister Mark Rutte said in a televised interview that Greece should not get any more money from <b>...</b>

An Islamist website has released a recording of Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri confirming that a former confidant of Osama bin Laden, Abu Yahya al-Libi, is dead. The video appears to show Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri, who took over as emir of the group after Osama bin Laden was killed by US Navy Seals last year, confirming the death of one of the group's most senior figures, veteran militant Abu Yahya al-Libi. The US government said in June it had killed Libi in a drone attack in Pakistan, dealing the biggest in a series of blows to the group since the raid that killed Osama bin Laden last year. American monitoring groups said the 42-minute video video was posted on Jihadi internet forums on Monday, a day ahead of the eleventh anniversary of 9/11. Zawahiri's statement is the first acknowledgement by Al-Qaeda that Libi had died.
