Mobile networks throttled for emergency services use - not shut down. Reduced capacity is overwhelmed currently for obvious reasons.

Edit to say that this has already been posted on the previous page, sorry!

I have a mate in senior management at UBS, but can't get through. So it looks like you are right.

Is this just isolated company decisions?

Tony Blair is leaving the G8 for London now and return later this evening. The G8 will continue to discuss the issues between themselves. Mr. Blair said this was particuarly barbarbic to coincide with the opening of the G8. He also said it is important that those engaged in terroism to relaise that our determinatation of our way of life is GREATER than their determination to try to destroy this.

F*cking cowards, the only way they can fight is to kill and injure innocent people on the way to work I'm so angry and sad I can't put into words how I feel. I just can't comprehend what goes through the mind of someone who plans and executes this sort of thing.

I hope this is the last of it and that those injured recover quickly, my thoughts go out to the people and families of those who have lost their lives.

I think it probably is, because the police seem to want people to stay put... guessing though.

I'm suggesting we all just wait and see. Scaremongering is pointless I agree.

Best to wait and see what FACTS we get.

I thought his delivery sounded very measured, and said the things expected him of to say.

I'm glad he's going back to the G8, and is heading back to London for a while. It sends an important message to the population.
