New Greek premier expected to be named today

ATHENS, Greece (AP) - Greece will get a new prime minister later today, a senior government official said, as the country’s European partners ratcheted up the pressure for a swift resolution to the political crisis. Talks between current Prime Minister George Papandreou and opposition leader Antonis Samaras have dragged into a second day as they try to hammer out a power-sharing deal. The two agreed over the weekend to forge an interim government that will shepherd the country’s new euro130 billion ($179 billion) European rescue package through Parliament.
