New global financial crisis alert
MASSIVE debts in some countries and extremely low interest rates make the task of avoiding another global financial crisis ''enormous'', a global banking organisation has warned. The international organisation of central banks says the scene is set for a new financial crisis unless Greece and other countries lift interest rates and more rapidly slash debt. In a report released overnight in Basel, the Swiss-based Bank for International Settlements says three years of near-zero interest rates in the major advanced economies have increased the risk of.../
Ron Paul worries Fort Knox gold is gone
WASHINGTON (CNNMoney) -- With the price of gold at record highs, presidential candidate Rep. Ron Paul wants to make sure the U.S. gold bars at Fort Knox are really there. Paul called a congressional hearing Thursday to grill federal officials about his bill to audit and inventory all of the gold reserves at Fort Knox, Ky., West Point, N.Y., and Denver, even though Treasury officials insist that the gold is audited annually and is all there. During the hearing, Paul suggested that the Federal Reserve of New York, which has 5% of the U.S. gold.../
Bankers going for gold to beat bonus controls
BANKS are paying top staff in gold bullion and fine wine to get round a crackdown on bonuses, according to City headhunters. Experts say the practice - which has angered politicians and shareholder action groups - is becoming more common as the UK economy tentatively recovers. Jonathan Evans, chairman of the international search firm Sammons Associates, said City headhunting revived strongly last year after falling as much as 90 per cent in the recession, and that there was now a trend for banks to find alternatives to bonuses.../
International banking regulator calls for rates to be raised worldwide
Central banks around the world must raise interest rates soon to bring inflation under control, international regulators have warned. The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) – the central bank for central bankers – said, in its annual report published on Sunday, that the era of loose monetary policy must end. "Tighter global monetary policy is needed in order to contain inflation pressures and ward off financial stability risks," the BIS said, adding that rates may need to be raised more rapidly than after previous recessions. It levied particular/
Interfaith service at Washington National Cathedral promotes religious tolerance
As worshipers entered Washington National Cathedral for Sunday morning’s service, some crossed themselves and some took photographs, some wore ties while others wore shorts and a few even wore yarmulkes. In the center aisle, in place of the baptismal fountain, candle-lit stands bore three books: a Bible, a Torah and a Koran. When a visitor asked a nearby usher what to do, the usher replied: “This is a totally different service than what we usually do. There’s no wrong answer.” Instead of Communion, the service featured readings.../
Turkey monitoring Syria border closely

Hurriyet quoted Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu as telling reporters he had shared his “concerns and thoughts about the situation” with his Syrian counterpart.

Ten million people in the Horn of Africa have been hit by the worst drought in 60 years, with the situation deteriorating to the point of famine in some areas, the UN said Tuesday.

Asteroid Buzzes Earth in Close Shave: First Photos
An asteroid the size of a tour bus zipped by Earth today (June 27) in a flyby so close that the space rock was nearer to the planet than some satellites, giving skywatchers and astronomers a tantalizing target for photos. The space rock, called asteroid 2011 MD, reached its closest point to Earth just after 1 p.m. EDT (1700 GMT), when it crept within 7,500 miles (12,000 km) of Earth before whipping away again like a slingshot. The asteroid was flying over the southern Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Antarctica, at the time of its closest approach.

Hillary Clinton backs New York gay marriage law
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Monday offered her approval of New York’s just-passed same-sex marriage law. Calling Friday’s vote by the New York state Legislature “historic,” the former New York senator was careful in her remarks not to overstep her bounds as an Obama administration appointee. But the legalization of gay marriage, Clinton said at a State Department event hosted by Gays and Lesbians in Foreign Affairs Agencies, “gives such visibility and credibility to everything that so many of you have done over so many years.”
