Greek politics turns back to the centre-right
Greece's opposition conservatives have returned to power with a landslide victory in snap elections.
Voters have rejected the populist, leftist Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras who has been in power for four years to elect the centre-right New Democracy Party led by Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
Mr Mitsotakis said he had a clear mandate for change, pledging more investments and fewer taxes.
His victory appears to have been driven by fatigue with years of European Union-enforced belt-tightening, combined with high unemployment, after the country almost crashed out of the euro zone at the height of its financial problems in 2015.
Inquiry into leaked diplomatic criticism of US President
The British government has started an inquiry into a leak of emails from the UK ambassador in Washington which are causing diplomatic waves.
In the messages, Sir Kim Darroch said the White House was "uniquely dysfunctional" and "divided" under Donald Trump and described the Trump administration as "inept".
The British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said the memos reflected Sir Kim's "personal view", not that of the UK government.
Donald Trump has responded, saying Sir Kim had "not served the UK well".

Gamer pleads guilty after live-stream assault
A Sydney gamer who inadvertently live-streamed himself hitting his pregnant partner while playing the video game Fortnite has pleaded guilty to assault.
Luke James Munday, 26, was charged with common assault in December for hitting his partner after she asked him to stop playing the video game Fortnite so he could eat dinner with his family.
