The head of the IMF, Christine Lagarde, warns of a dangerous and uncertain phase in the world economy and pushes for EU bailout plan to start in December.

Speaking at an international financial forum in Beijing, Ms Lagarde said that the global economy was in danger and referred to the high unemployment rate in the US

"I have said it before and I say it again, we believe that the world economy has entered a dangerous and uncertain phase.
