Angela Merkel's visit to Greece is expected to stir up widespread resentment with fears of large scale violence. Merkel has often been seen as one of the hated figures in Greece and even been compared to Adolf Hitler by some local media. With this in mind police have announced that rallies and open-air gatherings are prohibited in central Athens until Merkel leaves the country. Such a ban on street rallies has not been imposed on the country since 1974 when the military rule was ousted. This local resident when asked about the expected strikes was rather pragmatic saying what was the point? as decisions had been made already as to Greece receiving further funding. "How can it help? It has all been worked out already anyway, in order for us to receive the next loan instalment. Whatever must pass must pass through European parliament. Even if she wanted to do something for us, and I don't think she holds any special fondness for us, there are procedures that have to proceed." Protesters took to the streets on the eve of Merkel's visit which went on till the night, to give a hint of what can be expected on the day of Merkel's presence. There is widespread fear that the volatile protests could burst into violence. Written and presented by Ann Salter

www.euronews.com The International Monetary Fund has joined a growing band of world experts who are taking a more pessimistic view of the global economy. In its World Economic Outlook, the IMF told US and European decision makers to be proactive in fixing their respective financial woes as a matter of urgency or the slump will drag on much longer than expected. The IMF Chief Economist Olivier Blanchard said: "In advanced economies, growth is now too low to make a substantial dent in unemployment and in major emerging markets, growth which had been strong earlier has also decreased." The IMF's latest health check on the world economy revises its global growth forecast down to 3.3 per cent. For the US, it projects growth at just above two per cent for this year and next. But the eurozone is predicted to contract even more than thought in the summer. Last week, Canada's finance minister said the eurozone debt crisis was a 'clear and present danger' to the global economy. As for Britain, the IMF warned the government to ease off on spending cuts planned for next year should growth turn out to be weaker than forecast. The UK opposition have long said the programme of cuts is too much too fast. The forecast for Spain's already gasping economy, the eurozone's fourth largest, is that it will contract at double the rate previously thought next year.
