President Bush says many countries are working together to restore stability and confidence in financial institutions. He spoke 1 early this morning from the White House after a meeting with world financial leaders. He said the Group of Seven nations agreed they need to take coordinated 2 action much like the widespread interest rate cuts earlier this week.
"The leaders gathered in Washington this weekend are all working toward the same goals. We will stand together in addressing this threat to our prosperity. We will do what it takes to resolve this crisis and the world's economy will emerge stronger as a result."

America's big three automakers could soon become the big two. Published reports say General Motors has been in talks to buy out Chrysler for more than a month now. This week's meltdown on Wall Streets stalled negotiations 4 but they could start again if markets stabilize 5. Sources say the chance of a merger 6 is about "50-50" right now, neither company would comment directly.
North Korea has released new pictures of leader Kim Jong Il. The pictures show the reclusive leader inspecting soldiers. No word when the pictures were taken. These images are getting a lot of attention these days because Kim's health has recently been in question.
