European leaders seek end to eurozone crisis

The leaders of Italy, France, Germany and Spain are meeting today in Rome to discuss ways out of the hard-hitting Eurozone crisis.

The talks will focus on a proposal by Italian PM Mario Monti to use money from the so-called state bailout fund to issue eurozone bonds – a move, which is strongly opposed by Germany. The situation in Greece and Spain is a cause of serious concern for the participating leaders. Madrid has already applied for EU help and experts believe that the Eurozone crisis is nearing its peak.

Moody’s earlier downgraded the credit ratings of 15 major banks, including The Bank of America and Deutsche Bank.

Even intelligence officers at GCQH know Assange was set up, so why is his criminal persecution continuing?

WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange remains in Limbo in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London and soon will be marking one year since he was forced to seek refuge there. Although he has never been charged with a crime the U.K. authorities have already spent almost $5 million dollars surrounding the embassy. Amidst austerity measures and economic woes being felt by citizens of the U.K. this expenditure, to persecute a whistleblower seems outrageous and even ludicrous. The U.K. has proven they will do whatever the U.S. wants, and hence Mr. Assange is in great danger indeed.

England Debates Same-Sex Marriage Bill

David Cameron's woes are continuing this week with plans to legalize same-sex marriage to be debated in Parliament today and tomorrow. The issue is hugely divisive, not least within the Tory Party which seems to have been in open rebellion in the last couple of weeks over everything from the E.U. to the next election. And on Sunday 34 current and former local party chairmen delivered a letter to Downing Street opposing the policy as "flawed, un-Conservative and costing us dearly in votes and membership". Gay marriage is causing a heated row across the political and public spheres.
