ON THE EDGE: BACK FROM THE BRINK

DIANE SAWYER (ABC NEWS)(OC): And now, we move on to your money and [1]the momentary sigh of relief for every American with a [2]401 (K).  The voters of Greece this weekend decided to [3]stay the course in Europe, [4]sparing the US stock market and those around the globe a wild upheaval.

DIANE SAWYER (ABC NEWS)(VO): The Dow closed just down 25 points today.  But there is always that question, [5]is another big jolt around the corner?  And we [6]have team coverage tonight with the President and world at the economic summit in Mexico and in [7]Greece where voters narrowly brought the world back from the brink.

DIANE SAWYER (ABC NEWS)(VO): Here's ABC's Nick Schifrin starting us off, Nick?

NICK SCHIFRIN (ABC NEWS)(OC): Diane, despite the collective sigh of relief that [8]Greeks voted to stay with the Euro do not be fooled.  There is an Olympian-sized crisis here.

DIANE SAWYER (ABC NEWS)(VO): Unemployment is 22%.

NICK SCHIFRIN (ABC NEWS)(VO): Youth unemployment is 51%.  And here, in the main business areas of Athens, a third of all shops have closed.  And [9]the government is supposed to deliver even more cuts.

NICK SCHIFRIN (ABC NEWS)(VO): [10]Slash 150,000 of its own workers, cut $14 billion from its budget in order [11]to get new loans.  Without those loans, [12]this country will be broke in just a few weeks.

NICK SCHIFRIN (ABC NEWS)(OC): And if that happens, expect [13]the shockwaves to go into American businesses and 401 (K).  Diane?

DIANE SAWYER (ABC NEWS)(OC): Okay, Nick, thank you for painting the portrait of Greece tonight.

DIANE SAWYER (ABC NEWS)(OC): And that's exactly the urgent type of conversation underway at the economic summit in Mexico, where President Obama is trying to persuade European leaders to create more stability by taking bold action.  Even as the President of Russia threw the President of the United States [14]an icy curveball.  ABC's Jake Tapper is there.

JAKE TAPPER (ABC NEWS)(VO): President Obama knows that the US economy and thus his reelection chances may [15]be seriously infected by the contagion spreading from Greece to Spain and elsewhere, [16]if this problem is not contained.  The election results in Greece had him breathe a sigh of relief.

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA (UNITED STATES): The election in Greece yesterday indicates a positive prospect for not only them forming a government, but also them working constructively with their international partners.

JAKE TAPPER (ABC NEWS)(VO) But the President knows the road to solve the European economic crisis remains long and arduous.

JAKE TAPPER (ABC NEWS)(VO): Already US exports to Europe have slowed.

JAKE TAPPER (ABC NEWS)(VO): Mr Obama is pushing Europe to stop [17]applying temporary band-aids as [18]crises erupt.  But it's been like [19]herding cats to get all 17 Eurozone countries to agree on anything meaningful.

JAKE TAPPER (ABC NEWS)(VO): Such as [20]establishing one powerful organization to police and ensure all the banks throughout the 17-country Eurozone.  But [21]if body language and scowls are any gauge, dealing with the economic mess must have been like sunbathing on a beach here in Los Cabos, compared to President Obama's two-hour meeting with Russian president Vladimir Putin.  Putin is [22]not exactly warm and giggly, but [23]the dour expressions and lack of eye contact seem to personalize the serious tensions between the two men over Russia's continued aid to the Syrian government as it slaughters its own citizens, including children in the street.

JAKE TAPPER (ABC NEWS)(OC): US officials pushed back on the notion that the body language between President Obama and Putin meant anything.  They insisted the meeting was business-like and progress on Syria was made.  Diane?
