He said: “In France populist voices may get very strong. It would be highly likely though that the EU would be destroyed if France was to exit. Anything else, aside from Germany, the EU can take. “There would be an urgent need for reforms for the Euro as well. Southern countries who can't afford to would have to leave the eurozone. Instead we are doing the opposite, meaning, we are now also burdening the German banking system with a union based on joint liabilities only to drag on the insolvency of the south and to go into insolvency together one day.”

Economists are already fearing struggling Italian banks could spark a major financial crash as the European Central Bank deals with a struggling eurozone economy and debt-burdened Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal. EU bosses have told Italy to stop asking for a £3.4 billion payout to save its banks as German finance chiefs warned Berlin cannot be expected to foot the bill. Mr Otte said at some point the eurozone will explode.

He said: “Today we know that the Euro has damaged and thrown back the EU immensely. I said in my presentation in April 1998 that the system will last for about ten years, before the difficulties would begin. It lasted for about eleven years before the issues began. The issues are gigantic. The states in Europe have conspired to keep this art project alive. As long as I apply this constraint, as long as there are still reserves in the system this will continue. I don't expect that the Euro will explode in the next years. At some point it has to explode because it's artificial and can't function in this form.”

In June it was decided the European Central Bank would be allowed to buy up debt and prop up the eurozone’s ailing economies, supported by Germany’s central bank. At the height of the financial crisis, chief of the ECB Mario Draghi pledged to do "whatever it takes" to keep the eurozone's financial structure from imploding. But Mr Otte said the crisis is ongoing when the EU needs to pull together. He said: “We have indeed entered a financial crisis in instalments. We're facing tough times - I can confirm that. I can't yet see the figurative light at the end of the tunnel.” He added: “The Brexit can and has to be the impetus for a basic reformation of Europe.”

All across the country, things are going poorly. But this isn’t the fault of the people. By constantly using phrases that divide people by race, the mainstream media and the powers that be are attempting to pit us against each other. When these situations reach a boiling point, both sides will turn violent and blood will be shed. The whole country will fall into absolute chaos and the government will intervene with the only answer they see fit: martial law.

The federal government is attempting to push through a “reasonable tyranny” where they slowly begin to take our rights away under the guise of protecting our safety. This has occurred time and time again throughout history and the groundwork has already been laid for it to happen here in America.

Pretending that they care about our lives, the federal government will inevitably begin to take away everything we have protecting us — and then they will expand their powers more and more until we’re living under a form of slavery in our own backyards. If the government does choose to enact martial law — which doesn’t seem too far off — then the freedom of our country will be put at risk. It’s an absolutely terrifying possibility that seems more likely every day. We had all better be ready if we want to survive in the most unsure of times.

During her speech in Berlin, Mrs von der Leyen added: “Europeans are right to expect that the EU tackles the big questions. We now have that opportunity." Germany's defence plan calls for a "permanent structured co-operation in the defence sector" which Britain has consistently opposed while being an EU member.

Despite the timely announcement, Mrs von de Leyen said the plans would have gone ahead with the announcement even without the Brexit vote. She said: "I am of firm conviction that some of the frustration of people in Europe is connected with the fact that Europe did not progress much on an issue which the majority of people agree - that a European security and foreign policy is the right thing."

The potential for an EU army is allowed under the Lisbon treaty yet the British government has consistently opposed such a move. Retired army officers have warned staying in the EU would damage Britain's military capabilities and have been critical about the lack of accountability an EU army would have.

Their website questions: “Who would control the EU armed forces? The EU Commission? Can we call them to account? Can we seriously believe that our soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines should be sent into danger by a body over which we have no control, and which answers to none of us.”

France is said to be delighted with the German announcement, and will submit similar proposals soon.

Mr Acheson told the Commons Justice Committee it was a “bit nuts” there were no plans in place to extend extremism training in jails beyond April. Writing about radicalisation in prisons, the ex-prison governor proposed the idea that terrorists should have a “prison within a prison” to stop the spread of their extremist ideology.

Justice Secretary Michael Gove said he was open to reforming the prison system to upgrade Category B prisons, which Mr Acheson said were “frequently destabilised”. This could be a factor in missing the early signs of radicalisation, according to Mr Acheson. There are currently around 12,500 Muslims behind bars in England and Wales.

A former convict who served time in HMP Belmarsh says a gang of at least 20 Muslim inmates, who where jailed for terror-related offences, cheered when ISIS captured the Iraqi city of Mosul. The convict, known as Jamal, said: “I watched how prison officers seemingly took no action, leaving new inmates like myself with the impression that the real people in charge were not the warders, but a terrifying group of radical Islamists.”

They will then face deportation and as little as a week to lodge an appeal. The new rules come in the wake of last year’s migrant crisis which left the continent in turmoil as countries on the outer edges of the Schengen free movement zone, notably Greece, struggled to cope with the numbers arriving.

West European countries such as Germany and Sweden were inundated with migrants who travelled freely across member states in a bid to get to the wealthier countries. This all happened despite the Dublin Regulation which makes the member state in which asylum seekers first enter the EU responsible for fingerprinting and processing an asylum application.

The lawsuit seeks “to redress the incitement, threats and killings provoked by the defendants." In his lawsuit, Klayman also named Al Sharpton and Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan in the suit. The lawsuit, filed Saturday in Dallas, alleges that the defendants are guilty of civil rights violations, terrorist promotion of gang activity, and aiding and abetting murder.

The defendants are accused of… “inciting the imminent serious bodily injury and killing of police officers and other law enforcement persons of all races and ethnicities, Jews, and Caucasians by convincing their supporters and others that there is a civil war between blacks and law enforcement, thereby calling for immediate violence and severe bodily injury or death in response to that non-existent and fictitious threat.”

Klayman had this to say upon the filing of this class action complaint: "For too long, law enforcement and others, including white and non-white Jews and Christians, have remained silent, scared to speak and act, for fear of being branded racists over the fear of being threatened and harmed by the defendants and their accomplices. This must stop and justice must be done to preserve the integrity of our great nation and to avoid an all out race war that will destroy the freedom that our Founding Fathers dedicated their sacred honor, their fortunes and risked their lives for."

Mr Tusk took the tough stance amid upcoming negotiations following Britain's sensational Leave vote. He has already repeated warnings the UK will not have access to the single market without accepting the right of other EU nationals to move to the country.

Mr Tusk said: "No one should be seething with desire to punish, humiliate the British for what they have done to us." But if leaving the 28-country bloc was to become an attractive model of improving a country's standing, then other countries would also consider doing so. He added: "We cannot push them away from us, but we cannot let them profit from Brexit, as that would be lethal for the EU."

Echoing Mr Tusk's clear anti-Britain stance, German Chancellor Angela Merkel recently said that Britain would not be allowed to "cherry pick" what it wanted from the relationship while jettisoning aspects it did not like. The 27 states are to meet again to discuss their approach to Brexit in Slovak capital Bratislava on September 16. David Cameron's successor, Theresa May, is not expected to be invited.

Amid a surge in refugees, market turmoil and a slowdown in global trade, the Mediterranean country will not return to 2007 output levels before the mid-2020s, the fund has forecast. And the path back to pre-crisis levels is still subject to many risks, warned the IMF. Italy's banks and their "strained" balance sheets, which are swapped by very high levels of bad loans, were highlighted as a major area of vulnerability for the economy by the Washington-based organisation.

Productivity and investment growth are low, while the unemployment rate is still above 11 per cent - and even higher in some parts of the country and among younger people, added the IMF in its debrief. At the same time public debt is now close to 133 percent of GDP, which limits policymakers’ ability to respond to any shocks, said the fund.

The shock report, which plunges the Eurozone into further crisis, comes amid growing fears over Italy's banks among investors and politicians, which has prompted the government to draw up another emergency bailout plan - despite this being against European Union rules. Italian lenders are struggling with around €360 billion (£300 billion) of bad loans, which amounts about one third of the euro zone total.

Germany's DAX was down by 1.73 per cent, France's CAC by 1.71 per cent, Spain's IBEX all down by 1.7 per cent and Italy's FTSE MIB in the red by 0.43 per cent. All three of the continental markets are below their pre-referendum highs, with Italy's market worse hit and still down by around 10 per cent from the day before the vote to Brexit.

Investors are particularly worried about the future of Italy's banks, which hold billions of pounds worth of bad loans. Joshua Mahony, market analyst at trading platform IG, said: "Mainland European markets are suffering the most today, with the DAX, CAC and IBEX all heavily in the red as fear over the political and economic implications of a Brexit come back to the fore.

"The EU 27 is a net benefactor of UK trade and given the fixation upon immigration policy, there is reason to believe that in just over two-year’s time trade between the UK and EU will not be as free as is currently the case."

Jean-Claude Juncker, president of the European Commission, used blunt language in a speech in China warning that the country’s chances of gaining market economy status are directly related to its steel exports. “I do not want to dramatise this issue… but there is a clear link between the steel overcapacity of China and the market economy status for China,” Mr Juncker said.

Referring to the “painful adjustment” in the European steel industry as massive overcapacity was cut in the 1970s and 1980s, taking “tens of thousands” of jobs with it, the EC president added: “I know how painful this adjustment process can be. I have some understanding for the problems our Chinese friends are facing when it comes to the reduction of steel production in China, when it comes to the closing of steel plants. But when we say that market rules have to apply, the Chinese know exactly that this, in concrete terms, means the closing down of steel plants.”

Britain’s steel sector has been brought to its knees by global overcapacity in the industry, with low-cost producers such as China dumping excess production on foreign markets – often at a loss - in response to falling domestic demand.

Last weekend’s NATO summit in Warsaw revealed the aggressiveness with which the German government has been pursuing this goal in the subsequent two years. In a statement prior to the summit, German chancellor Angela Merkel provided an overview of German imperialism’s plans for rearmament and war. Along with a massive increase to the defence budget, the chancellor announced stepped-up engagement of the German army and NATO in Iraq, Syria, Libya, the Mediterranean Sea, Afghanistan, and Eastern Europe.

“In recent years, the issue was only how the German army could support civil authorities in natural disasters. In the future, we must again think in the opposite direction: how civil authorities can assist the armed forces to fulfil their tasks.”

The two primary branches of their family tree, white mainline and white evangelical Protestants, offer competing narratives about their decline. White mainline Protestants blame evangelical Protestants for turning off the younger generation with their anti-gay rhetoric and tendency to conflate Christianity with conservative, nationalist politics.

White evangelical Protestants, on the other hand, blame mainline Protestants for undermining Christianity because of their willingness to sell out traditional beliefs to accommodate contemporary culture. When Obama was re-elected in 2012, population experts forecasted that by 2060 whites will see their numbers decline for the first time in American history, while the number of people who identify as multiracial will nearly triple and the number of Hispanics and Asians will more than double.

Mark Mather, a demographer with the Population Reference Bureau, summed up the magnitude of these shifts for The New York Times: “No other country has experienced such rapid racial and ethnic change.”
