KPMG, auditors for the parent company of Premier League runners-up Liverpool, warned in accounts published last week that the firm's need to refinance some $575 million in bank loans - debt stemming from the club's 2007 takeover by American investors - amounted to "a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the group's and parent company's ability to continue as a going concern." A deal to roll over the debt is likely; as a storied and well-supported club, Liverpool generates healthy revenues and profits. But difficulty...

The Prime Minister shelved plans for an election only months after taking over from Tony Blair in 2007 - a vote he would have likely...
...riots in the street. And while both groups seem poised to continue in their current roles following Lebanon's latest elections, there's no indication Hizballah will take the defeat lying down. "We consider that Lebanon is ruled by partnership, and whatever the results of the elections are, we cannot change the standing delicate balances or repeat the experiences of the past," noted Hizballah lawmaker Hassan Fadlallah. "Whoever wants political stability, the preservation of national unity and the resurrection of Lebanon will find no choice but to accept the principle of consensus."
