The Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy says Europe has acted to secure the future of the single currency by agreeing to open up a line of credit to Spain's troubled banking sector. In Brussels, the European commissioner of economic affairs, Olli Rehn, said it was a clear signal that the eurozone was ready to take action to calm the financial markets. From Madrid, here's our Europe editor Gavin Hewitt.
Internationally, there has been relief that Spain's banks are to get a rescue. The view is that one of the eurozone's biggest risks has been reduced. In Spain itself, the reaction has been much more cautious. There has been criticism at the Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy for not making the announcement himself that the country's banks were to have access to loans of up to 100bn euros. Ten days ago, he said there would be no rescue of Spanish banks; today, he decided to face the press and defended the rescue as the right thing to do.
Exit polls in France suggest that President Francois Hollande's Socialist Party is heading for a majority in Parliament with its Green Party allies. There'll be a decisive second round of voting next week. From Paris, Christian Fraser.
Another good night for the Socialists in France with the new President Francois Hollande consolidating his grip on power. The final parliamentary balance is still hard to predict accurately, but with the support of the Greens and perhaps also the backing of the hard left lines, Mr Hollande will have a working majority. The vote means the Socialists will control the lower house for the first time in ten years that the low turnout perhaps denied the new president a bigger triumph.
Police in Chile have used teargas and water cannon to try to break up a protest against the screening of a documentary that praises the former military government of General Augusto Pinochet. Reports in the Chilean media say many of the anti-Pinochet demonstrators were arrested. Gideon Long is Santiago.
The first protest there came across with a group of pro-Pinochet supporters who were gathered outside. They have flags saying 'Long live Pinochet', and some of them were carrying a momento from the 1970s, from the 1980s – they were lording Pinochet. And they walked a couple of hundred meters up the street, and came across 'fell Augusto Pinochet', people who were protesting against the event. There was a very heavy police presence, and generally, it seemed that the two sides had been kept apart, but there have been very serious clashes between the protesters and the police.
