Germany, Europe's economic powerhouse, has been seen as totally safe, solid and stable. But its weak bond sale auction recently has sparked fears that the debt crisis is beginning to threaten Europe's strongest economy.

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>

The Euro Zone crisis is escalating, as Greece may be on the verge of a final collapse. According to the Reuters, anxious Greeks have started a bank run, withdrawing as much as 700 million euros ($894 million) from the nation's banks on Monday. Greece's political leaders meet on Wednesday to form a caretaker government to take it to a second election in just over a month, with its euro membership at stake and its president speaking of "fear that could develop into panic" at its banks. President Karolos Papoulias was forced to call a new vote after failing to cobble together a coalition government. An election on May 6 saw leftist opponents of Greece's EU/IMF bailout deprive the parties that ran the country for generations of a majority. Polls suggest the radical left are poised to win the re-run. That prospect has shaken faith in Greece's ability to remain in the single currency and stay solvent, sending the euro and European shares lower, and raising the bond yields that reflect the risk that other European countries will be hurt. Greeks are withdrawing euros from banks, apparently afraid of the prospect of rapid devaluation if the country leaves the European single currency, minutes of Papoulias's negotiations with political leaders showed. Central bank head George Provopoulos told him savers withdrew at least 700 million euros ($894 million) on Monday, the president told party chiefs. "Mr Provopoulos told me there was no panic, but there was great fear that could <b>...</b>

The European Union's summit solution or no solution? Friday, markets were excited for a day, but now is it just back to reality? Moody's reiterates that its ratings for the eurozone are still negative, with a downgrade still in the card for a number of sovereigns, including, you guessed it, France. Sarkozy says the loss of a triple A (AAA) would not be "insurmountable," and that If the rating companies did "pull it, we'll face the situation coolly and calmly." Really? Maybe for Napoleon this is true, but in Latvia, depositors are already lining up to take their money out of banks, which proves that "cool and calm" is not always something that can be achieved simply by words alone. And this should concern France and the rest of the Eurozone, in light of reports like this latest one by the OECD, which warns that industrialized governments should expect to struggle with borrowing more than 10 trillion dollars this year as they remain at the mercy of the market's "animal spirits." And speaking of bank runs, it's the anniversary of one that started in the US in 1930, credited with bringing down the banking system. So what could stop that from happening today? While people talk about jobs, the deficit, the president...is this the silent threat that could bring down the economy? Peter Schiff of Euro Pacific Capital joins us to discuss all these issues.

Professor Steve Keen, University of Western Sydney, joins Thom Hartmann. While hoardes of Americans were beating the heck out of each other for two-dollar waffle makers in Wal Mart - the UK quietly announced that is preparing for an all out collapse of the global banking system. A Senior Minister within the UK government admitted to the Telegraph over the weekend that planning is already underway to deal with the aftermath of a Eurozone collapse and subsequent civil unrest. According to the article, UK government officials now believe a collapse of the euro is "just a matter of time," and consulates around Europe are being prepped to deal with rioting in other nations and how to help British citizens abroad who may soon be unable to access bank accounts and withdraw cash. On top of that news - in a new report - the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development drastically cut its expectations for economic growth in Europe and the United States over the next year. According to the OECD - Europe is stuck in a mild recession and the United States will soon follow. So just how bad can it get? And what can be done to mitigate the damage?

Euro Crisis - Is Germany Paying Enough? The EU's leaders meet again on Monday for a summit that will once again focus on measures to prevent a collapse of the euro. Preparations are in full-swing for marathon voting on measures to preserve the currency. There's pressure on Germany, the eurozone's biggest economy, to do more to help indebted eurozone countries. Most countries that use the euro have more or less accepted Germany's handling of the crisis but now Chancellor Angela Merkel's plans are meeting with increased resistance. The guests: Quentin Peel - he is international affairs editor of the Financial Times. He is also an associate editor, responsible for leader and feature writing. He is working at the FT since 1975.

The impact that March NFPs would have on the market was dampened significantly by the thinned trading conditions, but that doesn't mean it is smooth sailing ahead next week. In fact, the situation is quite the opposite. We are facing a greater threat of high volatility and long-overdue trend generation than any other time this year. At the forefront, the broader market will once again fret the stability of investor sentiment as the S&P 500 threatens to follow carry's retracement, 1Q US earnings season starts, speculation that Fed and ECB are backing off stimulus deepens, Euro Zone crisis fears return, and Chinese GDP is set to start the 2012 global growth trend. It doesn't take all of these issues working in concert to trigger a dominant trend, but constant hesitation from the markets does necessitate a catalyst. This will be a week to monitor the FX market closely and be ready to act on true tide changes.

Eurozone finance ministers have agreed to boost the EU's rescue fund to 800 billion euros, to help countries like Spain recover from their crippling debt woes. Spain's financial crisis has prompted the government to announce its biggest austerity measures in over three decades. The country's vowed to cut 27 billion euros from its budget this year. It comes after tens of thousands of protesters hit the streets on Thursday, to fight against labor reforms. Michael Mross, economic analyst says that while the country struggles to rise out of its debt crisis, it will never be able to implement the new cuts.

www.euronews.com Eurozone finance ministers need to impress finance markets with the size of their rescue fund for indebted countries when they meet later this week according to Angel Gurria, the head of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. He said that is because the eurozone's public debt crisis is not over, despite calmer financial markets. The OECD has warned the region's banks remain weak, debt levels are still rising and governments' fiscal targets are far from assured. "The mother of all firewalls should be in place, strong enough, broad enough, deep enough, tall enough, just big," Gurria said, as he presented the economic think tank's latest report in Brussels. At their meeting this week eurozone finance ministers are expected to agree on combining the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) with its permanent European Stability Mechanism (ESM). Those are the two rescue funds for the 17-nation currency area. German Chancellor Angela Merkel signalled for the first time on Monday that she was prepared to consider boosting the firewall's resources. As the bloc's economy flounders for the second time in just three years, the OECD said in a report the 17-nation area needed ambitious economic reforms and there could be no room for complacency. On the region's economic future, the OECD was more upbeat than the International Monetary Fund and the European Commission; it sees 0.2 percent growth in the bloc this year, rather than an outright <b>...</b>

London City trader Alessio Rastani this week predicted in a BBC interview that the eurozone market is going to crash. "The market is toast," he told a visibly shaken interviewer. According to Rastani, the market has no confidence whatsoever in the euro rescue packages that are being discussed at the moment. There is nothing that governments can do, he said. 'It's not going to work," he said. "The euro is going to crash. Markets are ruled by fear." EUXTV's Ray Frenken draws on his background as a financial journalist and looks at some of the possibilities that investors may deploy in order to benefit from the crash that they predict, such as taking positions in the options market as an insurance policy. "This economic crisis is like a cancer. Get prepared. This is not a time for wishful thinking. The governments do not rule this world. Goldman Sachs rules the world." The financial institutions "know the market is toast, he said. Watch the original interview at www.youtube.com Also make sure to read: www.telegraph.co.uk

Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou is considering calling for a referendum on membership of the euro zone. The EKatimirini newspaper in Athens reports today, Tuesday, that Papandreou hopes that the outcome of such a vote would constitute a fresh mandate for his Socialist government. That mandate is needed to continue with an austerity drive that's pressed for by the organisations that are lending money to Greece to - the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund. The paper said that a bill has been submitted in Parliament that paves the way for a referendum to be carried out. According to its sources, Kathimerini reports that many of Papandreou's close aides had already proposed the idea of a referendum to the prime minister earlier this summer. Since then, pressure has mounted on the government from all sides. International community and its creditors are pushing Greece for quicker and more effective reforms. But citizens are not at all happy with these cuts and even members of PASOK's political council objecting to plans to slash the public sector. Meanwhile, Reuters is reporting out of Greece that there are not concrete plans for a referendum on the euro. The spokesman did admit however that a bill was proposed on Monday to hold referenda, but that this bill only was to make referenda possible. To be continued...
