It is set to be another bouncy week for investors, wracked with worry about eurozone debt. But the weekend in Washington may have produced some promise. The annual meeting of the International Monetary Fund was attended by eurozone leaders. It was no time for small talk. There is a sense now that leaders appreciate the size of the problem. But political divisions could yet scupper a deal. Al Jazeera's Jonah Hull reports from London.

www.rt.com Frankfurt police have detained 400 anti-capitalist protesters ahead of a key conference on monetary policy scheduled for the weekend. With thousands more heading into the city in the coming hours, new clashes are expected. Authorities say anti-capitalists were erecting barricades, vandalizing road signs and blocking traffic at various locations across the city. Frankfurt -- Germany's financial capital -- is home to the European Central Bank (ECB). As the eurozone faces a deepening of the economic crisis following fears that Greece can no longer remain part of the currency bloc, policymakers from EU member states have arrived in the city for two days of intense talks. Meanwhile, up to 30000 protesters are expected to make their way into the Frankfurt over the weekend. Their chief demand is an end to austerity -- cuts in government spending, often made by sovereign governments in exchange for offers of loans from the EU -- which activists say is leading to "Europe-wide impoverishment." In homage to the Occupy Wall Street protests last year, the movement labels itself "Blockupy." An anti-capitalist camp outside the ECB building that had been open since October last year was cleared on Wednesday. Instead, police have erected high barriers, though they say the camp can be rebuilt next week. But with the mass presence of dissenters, it is unlikely that the eurocrats will be able to avoid confrontation altogether. In a series of preventative measures, ECB officials <b>...</b>

One of the world's leading credit rating agencies, Standard & Poor's, has downgraded the United States' top-notch AAA rating for the first time ever. S&P cut the long-term US rating by one notch to AA+ with a negative outlook, citing concerns about budget deficits. The agency said the deficit reduction plan passed by the US Congress on Tuesday did not go far enough. Correspondents say the downgrade could erode investors' confidence in the world's largest economy. It is already struggling with huge debts, unemployment of 9.1% and fears of a possible double-dip recession. The downgrade is a major embarrassment for the administration of President Barack Obama and could raise the cost of US government borrowing. This in turn could trickle down to higher interest rates for local governments and individuals. www.bbc.co.uk www.bbc.co.uk BBC © 2011

The German constitutional court has just issued a ruling on the legality of Eurozone bailouts, where it upheld the country's involvement in multi-billion rescue funds. The decision was anxiously anticipated by debt-ridden states highly dependent on the bailout packages. RT's Daniel Bushell reports. Meanwhile in Italy and Spain thousands of people hit the streets to protest their governments' fresh austerity measures.Italy's 45-billion-euro package welcomed by the EU includes among other things new tax hikes and raising the retirement age for women. And in Spain, the rallies came ahead ofa crucial vote by its Senate on amending the constitution to limit national debt. Unions and rights groups say the debt cap would decimate the welfare system and hurt the most vulnerable. Writer and journalist Miguel-Anxo Murado believes it's the markets that should be made responsible for Spain's current predicament, not the people. With the financial turmoil raging around Europe, calls are growing for the worst-hit economies to abandon the euro and return to their old national currencies.

DemocracyNow.org - European leaders are preparing to unveil their plans for addressing the sovereign debt crisis that's threatened to tear apart the Eurozone. Both France and Germany are expected to push for changes to the Eurozone treaty, including centralized oversight of national budgets and tighter reins on debt. In a speech on Thursday, French President Nicolas Sarkozy said radical changes are needed in order to save the Euro. Sarkozy's address came after central banks -- including the US Federal Reserve and European Central Bank -- took coordinated action to prevent a credit crunch among European banks. For more on the developing crisis in Europe and its implications worldwide, Democracy Now! speaks with economist and professor Richard Wolff. He is the author of several books including "Capitalism Hits the Fan: The Global Economic Meltdown and What to Do About It." "The Fed is recognizing that another bailout is needed," Wolff says. "All the steps taken over the last two years to try to cope with this crisis of our capitalist system haven't worked, and so we're now we are again on the brink of a crisis, and again, public money and public institutions are bailing out a private banking system and a private enterprise system that is not working and is not solving its own problems."
