The British Prime Minister David Cameron has told parliament that riots and looting of the kind that spread across England in the last week will not be tolerated. He blamed a culture in which children were not taught right from wrong rather than poverty. Rob Watson reports.
英国首相卡梅伦告诉议会，不会再容忍像上周在整个英格兰蔓延的骚乱和洗劫等这一类行为。他谴责暴动是由于英国的文化，孩子们没有学习到明辨是非的能力，而不是由于贫困。Rob Watson报道。

The prime minister said the whole country had been shocked by events and that the government would not put up with such violence. He promised tough action against youth gangs and others involved in the violence, which he blamed on a culture of irresponsibility rather than spending cuts or the economic downturn.
首相称，全国被暴动所震惊，而政府将不会容忍这种暴力行为。他承诺对青少年犯罪团伙和其他涉及暴力的人采取强硬行动。他指责这些暴力行为是由于缺乏责任感的文化，而不是由于削减支出或经济低迷。

"The young people stealing flatscreen televisions and burning shops - that was not about politics or protest; it was about theft."
“年轻人盗窃平板电视，焚烧商店，这与政治或抗议无关，这就是盗窃。”

Parliament united in condemning the rioting, but there was criticism of police tactics and government plans to cut public spending and the numbers of police officers.
议会团结起来谴责暴动行为，但是也有人批评警方的策略以及政府削减公共支出和警察人数的计划。

After several weeks of extreme volatility, Thursday saw another dramatic session on Wall Street with investors pushing the Dow Jones up more than 500 points. That made up for its huge loss of yesterday but not for the ground it's lost since America's sovereign debt rating was downgraded at the weekend. President Obama has acknowledged that the wild swings on the market are challenging the US economy. He also warned that Europe's debt problems were "lapping up on our shores". Shares in Europe were up earlier despite continued concern about the spreading debt crisis.
