Germany has warned the new Greek government that it must live up to its commitments to creditors as the radical left wing Greek leader Alexis Tsiras was sworn as Prime Minister. German government spokesman Stephan Holzinger said Greece had to stick to promises made as part of its international bailout deal. It is important that the new government take measures so that the ecomomic recovery continues. A part of that is Greece holding to its prior commitments and the new government be tied into the reform's achievements.

Kurdish offcials say their forces have won a lengthy battle with Islamic State militants for control of a Syrian city of Kabani. The kurds in Kabani are jubilant after 131 days of fighting, they say they've triumphed over the so called Islamic State. Final cleanup is under way, said the leader of the town counsil. If this is indeed the victory the Kurds claim, it would not have happened without American bombing. Even with hundreds of air strikes, the Jahadis were at once stage in possession of the half of the town. This setback for IS does not necessarily mean they are losing overall. Syrian opposition sources say IS actually have more territory under their control now than when the United States and its ally started bombing last August.
库尔德官方称其部队在与IS武装分子的漫长战斗中获胜，控制了叙利亚城市卡巴尼。卡巴尼的库尔德战士在经历131天的战斗后非常高兴，他们称已经战胜了所谓的IS武装。市议会领导人称目前在进行最后的清理工作，如果正如库尔德所说这是一场胜利，那么没有美国的轰炸是不可能实现的。即使有数百次空袭，圣战分子还是一度控制了该市的一半区域。对IS来说，这次挫败并不一定意味着全盘皆输。来自叙利亚反对派的消息称，与去年8月美国及其盟友开始轰炸之前相比，IS现在控制的领土更多。
