CAROL COSTELLO, CNN ANCHOR: Let's check on what's making headlines overseas in this morning's "Euro Edition." For that we head live to London and Becky Anderson.
Becky, can you hear me?

BECKY ANDERSON, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well Iraq, "The Independent" in the U.K., was effectively put up for sale, the paper says, yesterday when the U.S.-backed administration unveiled a sweeping overhaul of business and politics in Iraq. The paper here saying America puts Iraq up for sale. And in their editorial today they say to propose a free for all that could so easily be portrayed as a second looting of the country is to risk provoking a nationalist protectionist backlash that will ultimately be in no one's interest, least of all the Iraqi people. That's Iraq in "The Independent" today.

And in the "Financial Times," a picture of Edmund Stoiber. He is the German opposition leader. And this article today saying that Schroeder, Gerhard Schroeder, the Chancellor of Germany, who is of course on his way to the U.S. this week, has been humiliated in the latest elections in Germany. That the Bavarian election, which of course Edmund Stoiber's home country, but humiliation for the German Chancellor, as I say, ahead of his trip to the U.S. with President Chirac of France this week.

That's it for me.

COSTELLO: All right. Becky Anderson, live from London this morning, many thanks.
