Greece has been much in the news this week, after a rescue package was announced to keep the country from a debt default. The money comes from the “eurozone” – meaning the EU members, basically – with Germany, France, Italy and Spain contributing the most. The IMF – the International Monetary Fund – is also contributing. The bailout is intended to prop up the Euro, the European single currency. This week is: how much money is in this bail-out package? The total sum, from both the eurozone and the IMF.

In case anyone wonders what they're listening to: Israel Radio English has changed the jingle they play at the beginning and end of the news. The jingle is predominantly bells and drums. The change was made as of the 0930 UTC broadcast on April 28, 2010. Unlike some of the past changes, there doesn't seem to be any change in the service to go along with it. In the past, jingles have changed for things such as when the English Service moved under the Foreign Language portion of KI. There doesn't seem to be any change besides the jingle itself, this time.
