- "Stock
Markets Plunge Worldwide." ... "Stocks fell sharply
worldwide Monday following declines on Wall Street last week amid investor
pessimism over the U.S. [United States] government's stimulus plan to prevent
a recession." ... "U.S. markets were closed for Martin Luther King Jr.
Day, but the downbeat mood from last week's market declines there circled
through Europe, Asia and the Americas. Britain's benchmark FTSE-100 slumped
5.5 percent to 5,578.20, France's CAC-40 Index tumbled 6.8 percent to 4,744.15,
and Germany's blue-chip DAX 30 plunged 7.2 percent to 6,790.19." ... "In
Canada, the S&P/TSX composite index on the Toronto Stock Exchange fell
4.8 percent. Brazilian stocks plunged 6.6 percent on the main index of
Sao Paulo's Bovespa exchange, and Argentina's benchmark Merval index fell
6.3 percent to close under 1,900 for the first time since August 2006."

- "Summit
Protests Turn Violent in Argentina." ... "More than
1,000 demonstrators angry about President Bush's policies clashed with
police, shattered storefronts and torched businesses Friday, marring the
inauguration of the Summit of the Americas as leaders began debating creation
of one of the world's largest free trade zones." ... "The chaos reflected
the often violent, worldwide debate on free trade as the United States
and Mexico pushed to relaunch talks on a zone stretching from Canada to
Chile. Past summits on the issue _ including last year's gathering of Asian-Pacific
leaders in Chile _ have drawn bitter opposition and similarly angry protests."

- "Haiti
receives $1-billion in pledges: Aid promised as [Canadian]
troops prepare to pull out." ... "But the fledgling peacekeeping force
in Haiti is woefully short of soldiers, with only 2,200 on the ground,
compared with the 8,000 the UN says are necessary. And nearly one-quarter
of that force, the 520-strong Canadian contingent, will start packing to
go home this week." ... "The departure of the Canadians will leave about
1,700 UN peacekeepers to cope with Haiti's sporadic violence and widespread
crime. Contingents from other countries have been slow to arrive -- for
instance, of an expected 200 Argentine soldiers who are supposed to take
over in Gonaïves next week, only a small advance party has reached
Haiti." -By Paul Koring -TheGlobeAndMail.com

"Despair
in Once-Proud Argentina: After Economic Collapse,
Deep Poverty Makes Dignity a Casualty." ... "With government statistics
showing 11,200 people a day falling into poverty --earning less than $3
daily -- Buenos Aires, a city once compared to Paris, has become the dominion
of scavengers and thieves at night. Newly impoverished homeless people
emerge from abandoned buildings and rail cars, rummaging through trash
in declining middle- and upper-class neighborhoods. People from the disappearing
middle class, such as Vicente Pitasi, 60 and jobless, have turned to pawn
shops to sell their wedding rings." ... ""I have seen a lot happen in Argentina
in my day, but I never lost hope until now," Pitasi said. "There is nothing
left here, not even our pride."" -By Anthony Faiola-WashingtonPost
