The decision by the Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou to call a referendum on last week's European Union aid package has drawn1 a shocked reaction from political leaders and the financial markets. Shares have fallen sharply across Europe and in New York. Matthew Price reports.
希腊总理帕潘德里欧呼吁就上周的欧盟一揽子援助计划进行公投，该决定令政界领导人和金融市场都深为震惊。整个欧洲和纽约的股价大跌，Matthew Price 报道。
In Athens tonight, the government at the centre of Europe's debt crisis is hanging by a thread. Members of the prime minister's own party have called for him to resign. An emergency cabinet meeting is being held. Around the world, markets have suffered huge losses, fearful that Europe's plan to contain the debt crisis is now not worth the paper it's written on. The Greek bailout is a crucial part of that deal. But now Greece's prime minister has surprised everyone, even his own finance minister, with the announcement that it will be the Greek people who decide in a referendum whether to take the next bailout and the associated austerity that will come with it. A poll at the weekend suggested a majority do not support the deal.
今晚在雅典，这一身处欧债危机中心的政府岌岌可危，总理所属党派成员要求他下台，内阁召开紧急会议。全世界市场都遭受巨大损失，人们担心欧洲控制债务危机的计划甚至不值得写在书面。救助希腊是该协议的关键部分，但现在希腊总理让所有人，包括他的财政部长都吃了一惊，他声称希腊人民要公投表决是否采取下一步救援计划和相关的紧缩措施。周末的调查表明，大多数人不支持该协议。
Events in Greece prompted urgent talks by telephone between the leaders of France and Germany. Afterwards, President Sarkozy said they had set up an emergency meeting to hear from Mr Papandreou. It will take place on Wednesday before a wider summit of European leaders and the International Monetary3 Fund.

希腊的事情发生后，法国和德国领导人很快进行电话会谈，随后，总统萨科齐表示，他已安排周三进行一场紧急会议，与帕潘德里会谈。之后更多欧洲国家的领导人和国际货币基金组织将举行峰会。萨科齐说，上周制定的援助希腊协议是解决问题的唯一办法。

The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has also called for the accelerated construction of about 2,000 housing units for Jewish settlers in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

For much of the day, the Internet has been down across large parts of the West Bank and Gaza, causing frustration6 for many.

A PA spokesperson, Ghassan Khatib, said the attacks had come from multiple sources around the world and had started this morning. He said he didn't know whether the hacking8 was connected to this week's successful attempt by the Palestinian leadership to gain membership of Unesco, the UN's cultural and scientific organisation.

World News from the BBC
State television in Syria has reported that the authorities have reached an agreement with the Arab League over ending violence in the suppression of anti-government protests, but the claim has been denied by the Arab League. Jon Leyne reports.
The Arab League has been proposing a plan under which the Syrian government would withdraw its forces from the streets and start a new dialogue with the opposition9 in an attempt to end months of violence. Syrian state TV says agreement has been reached on the plan, though it has not confirmed the details. But the Arab League has categorically denied that. The Deputy Secretary General Ahmed Ben Helli said Syria's response was still awaited and most probably would be presented in Cairo on Wednesday. Syrian opposition activists10 are deeply sceptical. They believe that without tanks on the streets President Assad would rapidly lose control of his country.
