Reactions to Saudi, Russia deal to freeze oil output Posted: 16 Feb 2016 04:06 PM PST A major sticking point in sealing a deal may be Iran, which was absent from the talks and has been determined to raise production.

"This is far more of a political statement than a support for oil prices in our view, an offer that Iran has little choice but to refuse. |

Greece opens migrant 'hotspot' centers, putting islanders on edge Posted: 16 Feb 2016 10:01 AM PST It is here, on a disused army base near the village of Pyli, that the European Union wants Greece to build one of five new migration centers, known as "hotspots." The centers, placed on a chain of Aegean islands which lie just a few miles from the coast of Turkey, are meant to enable genuine refugees from places like Syria to be resettled in the EU, while economic migrants from countries such as Pakistan and Bangladesh would be sent home. At the moment the kids can walk to school on their own but we worry that that will all change," says Anna Karagiannis Chatzisevastou, a mother of five. The country is already in a horrible economic crisis. |
