Dutch politicians agree austerity budget deal

Caretaker Prime Minister Mark Rutte addresses parliament in The Hague, Netherlands, Tuesday April 24, 2012. Rutte appealed to a polarized Dutch Parliament on Tuesday to help him get the economy back on track rather than let the country drift in political limbo until new elections. Speaking publicly for the first time since he tendered his resignation Monday, Rutte said the nation, long considered one of Europe's most fiscally responsible, has no time to waste in tackling its economic woes.
