As the debt crisis worsens, governments fear the rating agencies, which have the power of life and death over whole economies. The Big Three helped to cause the 2008 financial crisis and are now accused of worsening the euro zone's woes. But a look behind the scenes shows that there are few alternatives to the mighty agencies.

Cameron vows to put 16,000 cops on streets with photos !

DAVID Cameron today vowed to put 16,000 police on London's streets after coming back to Britain to take charge of the riot crisis engulfing the country.

The Prime Minister condemned the "sickening" violence unleashed on communities as he promised to reclaim the streets.
His words came shortly before it emerged that a 26-year-old man shot in Croydon has died in hospital.
It was also revealed that a total of 525 people have been arrested so far.

Speaking outside No10, Mr Cameron — who later met police around the capital — pledged to "everything necessary to restore order to Britain's streets and to make them safe for the law-abiding".
He added: "This is criminality pure and simple and it has to be confronted and defeated."
As the capital braced itself for another night of violence, the PM announced the move to nearly treble the number of officers in London.
Officers were drafted in from forces around the country. Lancashire sent 70 police and Greater Manchester Police sent 100 officers to boost London's cops.

Mr Cameron also said that Parliament will be recalled on Thursday to discuss the crisis.
Mr Cameron's announcement followed an emergency Cobra meeting to decide how best to tackle the mayhem that has gripped the country for three days. Scotland Yard has revealed that plastic bullets could be used for the first time to disperse rioters.
A "rogues gallery" of suspects has also been published by the Met in a bid to trace more than 2,000 thugs who brought fear and chaos to the nation.

Police who released the CCTV images hope the public will name and shame them. The thugs — including six women — are being sought in connection with terrifying scenes of arson and looting.
Meanwhile, shops across the capital closed early amid fears of fresh unrest. Among those that shut were pubs in Croydon, stores and offices in Greenwich and Wimbledon and Southside shopping centre in Wandsworth.
Other areas to see early closures included New Cross Gate, Stratford, Hayes, Enfield, Shepherd's Bush and Wembley.

Shop assistant Nadeem Shaikh, 43, said his store would also be closing early. He added: "We have to, what are police doing? Nothing. It is not safe for shops.
"A lot of places have been burned down, we have no boards or shutters so we are worried about what could happen. No customers will come later anyway, they are frightened."
This came after residents fed-up with the wrecking of their communities orchestrated a massive clear-up effort via Twitter.

As insurers estimated the total damage to reach tens of millions of pounds, kind locals encouraged people to come together to clean up the mess caused by looters.
Several groups — armed with dustpans and brushes — gathered to help official street cleaners in their bid to remove torched cars, shattered glass and other debris.
And as volunteers mucked in to restore order in London areas including EALING, HACKNEY, CLAPHAM, ENFIELD and PECKHAM, one shop owner said: "I was devastated when I saw what happened last night.

"I was really angry so I thought I'd channel my anger in a constructive way. We have never met each other before, we just spoke on Twitter this morning."
Heartless yobs caused further outrage this morning when a video showed a gang of youths mug a young lad after pretending to help him.
They found the boy sitting on the pavement with blood pouring from his mouth. On the footage it appears as though they are helping him up and consoling him.

But then one hooded lad opens his rucksack to nick something from it.
Abdul Hamid, who posted the clip online, said: "This is evil. A poor lad, obviously in distress, sits bleeding on the ground. He is 'helped' up and then robbed. I hope these scumbags are caught."
Labour leader Ed Miliband today also called for order to be restored after visiting the aftermath of a riot.
Mr Miliband saw smashed windows and met people who had been affected by the violence and looting that broke out in Peckham last night.
More than 100 people gathered around him and he was inundated with questions about recent events.
Mr Miliband told shop manager Joseph Sailsman: "The first priority has got to be to restore public order and to restore calm to the streets."
The country has been left reeling by the orgy of violence and destruction. Terrifying photos of a woman leaping from a burning building shocked the nation.

The woman escaped the flames in Croydon, South London, by jumping into the arms of cops.
Her rescue came at a time when thinly-spread police struggled to cope with the escalating mayhem.
Hundreds of people were arrested last night after the worst rioting in decades as looting, violence and arson spread across London and other major cities including LIVERPOOL, BIRMINGHAM and BRISTOL.
In PECKHAM, a woman called Caroline told how her husband was dragged off his motorbike by a baying mob of 12 hooded youths, who beat and kicked him, then took his bike.

Hundreds of people in black balaclavas and scarves marauded along the borough's main street, launching petrol bombs at police. Bus services were suspended after one was torched and another smashed to pieces.
Tesco and Iceland were among two of the shops looted. Around 50 masked youths made off with champagne and beer.
Peckham-born England and Man United soccer star Rio Ferdinand tweeted: "London's burning, riots galore — what will this solve??"
HACKNEY descended into a war zone after the rioting broke out about 5pm. Senior cops were checking reports that the violence was sparked by a stop and search.

Να σταματήσει άμεσα ο κλεφτοπόλεμος κυβέρνησης-ιδιοκτητών ταξί

Αθήνα, 1 Αυγούστου 2011

«Να σταματήσει άμεσα ο κλεφτοπόλεμος κυβέρνησης-ιδιοκτητών ταξί»

Από το γραφείο Τύπου της Δημοκρατικής Συμμαχίας, εκδόθηκε η ακόλουθη ανακοίνωση:

Ο αρμόδιος υπουργός, κ. Ραγκούσης,  αποφεύγοντας  να μιλήσει συγκεκριμένα για τον τρόπο που θα γίνει η απελευθέρωση,  ρίχνει νερό στο μύλο της πόλωσης και των ακραίων αντιδράσεων.
Οι αυτοκινητιστές υπερβαίνουν τα όρια του νόμου και της αυθαιρεσίας με αποκλεισμούς εθνικών οδών, αεροδρομίων και λιμανιών.
Με την παράνομη αυτή τους τακτική, πλήττουν καίρια το Τουρισμό που στις σημερινές συνθήκες είναι η μοναδική πηγή απασχόλησης και ρευστότητας για την πατρίδα.
Ο κλεφτοπόλεμος αυτός πρέπει να σταματήσει άμεσα.
