http://www.euronews.net/ Frustration with the lack of progress after the overthrow of Muammar Gaddafi brought tens of thousands of protesters out in central Benghazi.

In the city where the revolution started, ordinary Libyans are impatient for improvements.

They want security and jobs.

One protester said he wanted to send a message to NTC leader Mustafa Abdel Jalil: "Please leave us," he said. "If you are not able to help us, please give the chance to any other person to be president to meet our demands."

http://www.euronews.net/ Euro-sceptic Poles voice their opposition to closer European integration at a mass rally in central Warsaw.

If Germany and France thought the UK was alone in objecting to their new fiscal deal, they can look no further than central Europe to see more discord.

Demonstrator Andrzej Hadacz complained:" We've heard strange announcements by Foreign Minister Sikorski who says that he wants to give part of Polish sovereignty to Brussels, so that they will be governing us over here. This is a scandal and should be punished."
