From Our Own Correspondent

Tony Grant introduces Paul Henley who has been examining Europe's new poor; and Jo Fidgen, visiting "the lifeboat of the North Atlantic," Gander in Canada.

Tony Grant introduces insight, wit and analysis from correspondents around the world. Today, Paul Henley on Europe's new, employed poor; and Jo Fidgen in Gander, Canada, once more by-passed by the airlines.

There've been dire warnings about Europe's deepening debt crisis this week. A fight is on, according to the president of the European Commission Jose Manuel Barroso, for the continent's political and economic future. Paul Henley says more and more of its citizens are becoming casualties.

And the horrors of the 9/11 attacks ten years ago have been remembered this week at ceremonies in the United States and many other places around the world. Our Jo Fidgen was in Canada, in a town which cared for thousands of air passengers who became stranded when, on that day back in 2001, the US closed its airspace.
