Evening News with Brine Williams

 BW: Good evening everyone. I'm Brine Williams. First we look at the turmoil in Greece: Here's Michelle Porsche-Carrera in Athens: 
MP-C:  Good evening, Brine.  The world is watching as Greeks finish counting  votes in their crucial election.  So far, exit polls  show the two main parties neck-and-neck. Whatever the final result, it looks like dark  clouds of uncertainty over Greece and the  Euro won't be going away soon, Brine, and I'll likely  be stuck reporting from  this primitive hellhole for several weeks to come.
BW: Thanks as always, Michelle. Now for the latest on President Obama's executive order to  suspend  the deportation  of young illegal immigrants. Here's our Chief White House correspondent,  Chuck Plod.
CP: Good evening Brian, [cut to Mariachi band] Latinos are celebrating Obama's courageous   and  ingenious move  to sidestep Congress and enact part of  the DREAM Act by executive order   [cut to Obama saying :  "Because it''s the right thing to do."]  The reaction from illegal immigrants was widespread jublilation  [cut to weeping Latino girl saying "Gringos, I am so happy!"]  
BW:  Very touching. Thank you, Chuck , as always.  Now  to the continuing  bloodshed in Syria. Our chief foreign correspondent Richard Angel is right on the spot  in Cairo, only 370 miles away, where he's been keeping  us abreast of   the  growing civil war  by  reading AP reports from Lebanon. 
RA: That's right, Brine. Blood is still being shed, as  Bahir al-Assad's forces continue to target civilians [cut to file footage of shells hitting Homs and rows of shroud-wrapped bodies]
meantime Russia continues to ship attack helicopters to Damascus, while  Russian President Vladimir Putin laughs off  ineffectual  and feeble warnings from President Obama....
BW: I'm sorry we seem to have lost sound from Cairo. That's it for this evening, thanks for  watching and we hope to see you here same time tomorrow evening. I'm Brine Williams.
