George Papandreou. Greece's prime minister, and opposition leader Antonis Samaras have agreed to form an interim government - meant to prevent the country from crashing out of the euro.

However, it may cost Papandreou his job. Reports say he is likely to step down on Monday when the line-up for a new government is announced.
