...French-made multimedia documentary Gaza-Sderot: Life in Spite of Everything, moments like this add to the eerie feeling that we are eavesdropping on doomed people. That sense is all the more acute because the audience knows how the story will soon turn out. The documentary was shot by two crews - one in Sderot and one in Gaza - between October and December last year, ending just four days before Israel unleashed on Gaza its fiercest bombing campaign in decades.

If Ireland or Greece go bust, then there is already a commitment from the Germans and French to, one way or another, bail them out. But if you have to rescue on top of them Austria and Italy, Portugal and Spain, and Belgium and the Netherlands, then that is not going to be possible. I am still of the view that we can avoid a collapse...
...Indeed, the summit was hastily convened after Sarkozy made jingoistic noises last month about pulling French car-making operations out of eastern Europe. The beleaguered eastern members fear 'Old Europe' is on a wayward drift from the E.U.'s core principles of a single market, which could leave 'New Europe' abandoned in the economic vortex...
