Unhappy IMF in global 'meltdown' warning

The world financial system is teetering on the "brink of systemic meltdown", the head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has warned in Washington.
Dominique Strauss-Kahn said the crisis was being fanned by fears over debt-ridden banks but added rich nations had so far failed to restore confidence.
He spoke after talks with US President George W Bush, Group of Seven (G7) finance ministers and the World Bank.
Mr Bush said the global economic crisis needed a united international response. Speaking in the US capital on Saturday, Mr Strauss-Kahn said: "Intensifying solvency concerns about a number of the largest US-based and European financial institutions have pushed the global financial system to the brink of systemic meltdown."
