• Israeli restrictions leave Palestinians dependent on aid, says World Bank | World news | guardian.co.uk: The World Bank warned today that continued Israeli economic restrictions are severely limiting the potential of the Palestinian economy and leaving Palestinians more dependent on foreign aid than ever. In a report to be delivered to international donor governments this month, the World Bank acknowledges that Israel has lifted some roadblocks in the occupied West Bank but it says the impact is limited. It says continued discussions about removing individual checkpoints and roadblocks have become a "distract ion" from the bigger issues. The International Monetary Fund says the Palestinian economy shrunk by 0.5% last year and will grow by only 0.8% in 2008, a long way short of the Palestinian Authority' ;s own forecast.

• Capitalism lies in shambles, and the left has gone AWOL. It should be the moment for progressives to proffer remedies, and yet a year into the credit crunch they remain largely silent: Aditya Chakrabortty Comment: Capitalist crisis usually spells opportunity for progressives - their moment to point out errors and suggest remedies. Roosevelt' ;s New Deal is the famous example, but more recent is the Asian crisis of the late 90s, when the left teamed up with local activists to attack the IMF for mishandling an entire continent. Ten years on, the IMF still hasn't recovered its authority. So it's the bankers who say finance is bust. It's the capitalists who think modern capitalism is broken. All the while, progressives have been on the scent of that reddest of ideological red herrings, Britishness - or doodling "I ? Obama" on their pencil cases. Why such silence on this year's biggest story? One senior think-tanker enters a plea of mitigation. His colleagues don't want to pick apart the government 9;s economic platform: "It wouldn't be helpful to No 10."
