Our lead story: Lawmakers are looking to crackdown on high frequency trading. In the European Union, regulators are poised to approve some of the toughest restrictions yet. Meanwhile, here in the U-S. The world's largest futures market, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, is being sued by three of its users who allege that the company sold high speed traders access to information ahead of other market participants. Erin takes a look.

It was met with a lot of resistance, but the bailout deal meant to mitigate Greece’s financial crisis finally passed early Thursday morning. The Greek Parliament voted to accept its third bailout, worth up to €86 billion, all in exchange for tough austerity measures. That includes pension cuts, increases to value added taxes, limits on public spending, and an overhaul of its collective bargaining system. Ameera David weighs in.
Then, Ameera is joined by Frances Coppola – blogger at “Coppola Comment” and contributor to The Financial Times and Forbes. Frances tells us how Greece got pushed into taking a new bailout deal and gives us her take on the possibility of a “Brexit.”
After the break, Bianca Facchinei takes a look at the rates of childhood poverty in the United States. From 2010 to 2013, the amount of impoverished white, Asian, and Hispanic children declined. But the rates of black children in poverty remained stubborn at a rate of 38%.
Afterwards, Ameera and Erin Ade discuss a new effort to stem student loan defaults, which could end up increasing costs for the government's growing student-loan portfolio. The Obama Administration is working on a plan that will allow millions of Americans to further cut their monthly student debt bills.
And in The Big Deal, Ameera and Edward Harrison discuss the latest on Greece, concentrating on the role of the European Central bank.

Erin weighs in.
