Police have arrested more than 100 people in 22 European countries on suspicion of sharing online videos of children being sexually abused and raped. A police official said that though the operation had been successful, it had shown how the Internet was helping offenders swap images globally while protecting their identity. Anna Holligan reports from The Hague.

It's one of the biggest and most serious cases of child pornography that Interpol has ever investigated: 112 arrests in 22 countries across Europe. Some of the videos feature the most graphic contents, including the abuse of babies and toddlers. Interpol say those responsible are using new file-sharing technology to send vast amounts of material all over the world, but they say that these arrests show they are able to catch the perpetrators even when they are operating in cyberspace.

The credit ratings agency Fitch has said it believes a comprehensive solution to the crisis in the eurozone is technically and politically beyond reach. Fitch said it was considering a downgrade of the credit ratings for six countries that use the euro: Italy, Spain, Ireland, Belgium, Slovenia and Cyprus. Fitch said France would retain its AAA rating, but it had revised the country's long-term outlook from "stable" to "negative".
