London Riots

London is going under tremendous pressure. British Prime Minister David Cameron said on Tuesday police will crack down hard to suppress a wave of rioting and looting across London, he said this was the worst violence in the British capital in decades.
Politicians and police firmly blamed the violence, in which shops were looted and cars and buildings set ablaze in several mostly poor areas of London.
But some commentators and local residents said its roots lay in tensions and anger over economic hardship in a city where the gap between the haves and have-nots is highly visible and the prospects for many youths are in danger.
There are problems in terms of Jobs and Money. The unrest poses an added challenge to Cameron as Britain's economy struggles to grow while his government slashes public spending and raises taxes to help eliminate a budget deficit.
They also show an ugly side of London to the rest of the world less than a year before it hosts the 2012 Olympic Games, an event which organizers hope will showcase a dynamic, prosperous and cosmopolitan city.
However, police have also faced criticism for failing to bring the situation under control as gangs of youths mobilized using social media and looted shops at leisure.
The first riots broke out on Saturday in London's northern Tottenham district, when a peaceful protest over the police shooting of a suspect two days earlier led to violence.
Tottenham includes areas with the highest unemployment rates in London. It also has a history of racial tension with local young people, especially blacks, resenting police behavior including the use of stop and search powers.

Global Economic Crisis

The global economy stumbled again, but now its deeper into crisis as stock markets slow down further and also the investors losing confidence that the United States and Europe can rein in their debt burdens quickly.
European and Asian shares tumbled .Investors fear that, with confidence in the global economy's prospects evaporating, financial markets will remain in a slump.
Global leaders have failed to reverse the sliding markets.In the United States, President Barack Obama called on Monday for urgent action on the U.S. budget deficit, but his proposal on taxes was promptly refused by Republicans.
"Markets can adjust to a downgrade of global growth, but they cannot cope with a increase loss of confidence in leadership and a growing sense that policymakers are disconnected from reality."
On the political front, Obama said on Monday he hoped the loss of the prized AAA credit rating would add urgency to U.S. budget cutting plans.
