Global markets left reeling
There were further heavy losses on the world's financial markets despite central banks stepping in with massive injections of cash for a second day running in the hope of restoring a sense of calm.
Billions of pounds were wiped off share values as stock markets in Europe, the US and Asia fell sharply. The FTSE 100 index in London saw £63bn wiped off leading shares as it closed 3.7% lower, losing 232.9 points to end the week on 6,038.3. It was the biggest one-day percentage drop in the City in almost four-and-a-half years and wiped out all of the gains made by the FTSE this year.

This is a privatized war, more so than any war in the past.
