The International Monetary Fund said it had to raise hundreds of billions of dollars so it can give out (new loans) to countries in urgent need of financial support. The IMF said it was restoring options for raising extra money. From Brussels, Chris Morris reports.

The IMF estimates it needs about $500,000,000 for additional funding to try to ensure the (instability) swirling around the Europe Zone doesn't create further problems for the global economy. Countries which use the euro have pinned hopes for some time on the build-up in IMF resources. They wanted to help create much larger (financial firewall) to prevent the Europe Zone debt crisis engulfing large economies, such as Italy and Spain. EU countries, not including Britain, have already agreed to contribute about $200,000,000 to the IMF. But that leaves a considerable gap to be filled.

A protest by leading internet sites has prompted senior members of US congress to withdraw their support for proposed laws against (online piracy). Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia, argues that proposals which damage the internet freedom had closed its English -language pages for 24 hours in protest. From Washington, Jonny Diamond reports.

US legislators sought to curb the distribution of pirated and counterfeit products by giving the courts the power to force search engines to (delist) pirate's sites. But in the Senate, the bill that looked close to passage, now appears to be in trouble. Florida senator, Marco Rubio, a rising star in Republican Party and one of the bill's sponsors, has withdrawn his support. Taxassenat or John Puen has also indicated concerns. And the House of Representatives, the speaker John Boehner has said that there's now a lack of (consensus) about the proposed law.

The British Prime Minister David Cameron has accused Argentina of colonialism over the Falkland Islands. The two countries fought a war in 1982 over the British territory in the south Atlantic, which Argentina calls the Malvinas. Our political correspondent James Landale reports from Westminster.

Almost thirty years on for the Falkland's conflict, (tensions) are once again rising in the south Atlantic. British Energy Company is discovering oil on the islands. Argentina has persuaded its (neighbouring) countries to close their ports to ships flying the Falkland's flag and the rhetoric at Buenos Aires is heating up. So today David Cameron pushed back, sending what he called a clear massage.

"The key point is we support the Falkland Islanders' right to self-determination, and what the Argentinian have been saying recently, I would argue is actually far more like colonialism because these people want to remain British and the Argentinian want them to do something else."

Argentina's interior minister Florencio Randazzo describes Mr. Cameron's remarks as totally offensive.
