Greece passes emergency loan bill amid austerity push
Greece's parliament approves an omnibus bill raising taxes and widening austerity, creating a privatization fund to manage state assets as Eurogroup reviews compliance with the third bailout. In U.S. media news, Sumner Redstone reshapes his trust removing Dauman and Abrams, provoking claims of control by Shari Redstone. Anthem and Cigna clash over their $48 billion merger, with disputes over regulatory filings and lawsuits potentially delaying approval.
