Not-so-fancy Footwork: Palestinians throw shoes to protest cost of living
1:12
Days of Palestinian demonstrations against the high cost of living turned violent in a West Bank city on Monday. Much of the rage is directed at Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad, a US-educated economist who oversees the government's finances. In Hebron, about 50 men hurled shoes at a large poster of Fayyad that had the words "Depart, Fayyad" scrawled underneath. The rallies are the largest show of popular discontent with the governing Palestinian Authority in its 18-year history.

Dutch elections to test EU popularity amid euro crisis
Dutch elections to test EU popularity amid euro crisis

EurActiv article: www.euractiv.com After an election campaign dominated by the euro zone crisis, the Netherlands will go to the polls on Wednesday in what could be a decisive day for Europe. Caretaker Prime Minister Mark Rutte is currently leading the polls with 35 seats in the 150-seat parliament. His center-right, pro-austerity VVD party is expected to form a coalition government. However, the outcome of the election is still uncertain as many voters remain undecided. 'The day after tomorrow is election day in the Netherlands, quite important for Europe. So it is of course important for political parties and so on. It's quite important for Europe, will there be a government afterwards, European oriented or is it "pull out the plug and we are living in out island", Commissioner for Digital Agenda Neelie Kroes said at a Lisbon Council event. Dutch citizens are getting increasingly frustrated over recent austerity cuts imposed by Brussels. They are also becoming weary of continuous demands for financial aid to bailout debt-ridden countries. Rutte's government collapsed in April when his ally, far-right PVV's leader Geert Wilders refused to support further austerity measures. While Wilders is unlikely to make it into government, some experts believe that his anti- immigration and anti-Europe views have forced mainstream parties to become more Euro skeptic. Only recently, Prime Minister Mark Rutte said in a televised interview that Greece should not get any more money from <b>...</b> Related article

Spain's $125 Billion Bailout Package By European Union
Spain's $125 Billion Bailout Package By European Union
2:37
Spain became the fourth and largest country Saturday to ask Europe to rescue its failing banks, a bailout of up to €100 billion ($125 billion) that leaders hoped would stabilize a financial crisis that threatens to break apart the 17-country eurozone. The rescue offer follows growing pressure from international investors and the Obama administration and comes a week before elections in Greece, whose voters could decide whether the country leaves the euro. Europe's widening recession and financial crisis has hurt companies and investors around the world. Providing a financial lifeline to Spanish banks is likely to relieve anxiety on the Spanish economy — which is five times larger than Greece's — and on markets concerned about the country's ability to pay its way. "What the markets are looking for is essentially the Spanish government's acceptance that its banks are broke," said Jacob Kirkegaard, a research fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics in Washington. Economy Minister Luis de Guindos announced the deal after an emergency conference call with eurozone financial leaders. He said the aid will go to the banking sector only and would not come with new austerity conditions attached for the economy in general — conditions that have been an integral part of previous bailouts to Portugal, Ireland and Greece.

Rasmussen defends US Bagram plans

www.euronews.com Despite the hand over of Bagram to Afghan authorities the US has said it will keep control of at least one block at the controversial jail. Speaking to euronews NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen explained the reasoning behind Washington's decision. "The transfer of detainees to Afghan responsibility is part of the overall transition of security responsibility to the Afghans, but obviously, we also have to strike the right balance between Afghan sovereignty and security for the Afghan security forces and our troops." The prison's transfer comes ahead of full foreign troop withdrawal from Afghanistan, almost 11 years since the terrorist attacks on the US prompted outside intervention. "The purpose was, and it remains, to prevent the country from once again becoming a safe haven for terrorists who could use it as a launching pad for attacks against our societies. And in that respect our operation has been a great success. We have not seen terrorists launch attacks against our countries rooted in Afghanistan.'' The decision to hold on to a part of Bagram has angered Kabul which wants full control of the jail ,now known as the Parwan Detention Centre, seeing it as a matter of national sovereignty.

Wink News article shown on air on May 18th, 2009, depicts that all storm and hurricane shutters are equal. We beg to differ, and our product testing videos confirm the differences of our hurricane products, to theirs. We spoke with Lauren Sweeney of Wink News, and she wan not interested in the differences, success or failure. This type of misleading information leads to families believing that they can only buy one-shot hurricane protection. This is NOT true. When the National Hurricane Center in Miami Florida uses our Shutters to protect their facility, what does that tell you. We would love to demonstrate the differences between our products and the competitions, any time. We have added our test videos to the Wink Video, for comparison.
