G20 Summit and debt crisis: live 07.20 Spanish police are now patrolling farmland after the economic crisis saw a spike in people stealing crops. In villages near farming areas, several thousand paramilitary Civil Guards, regional and local police are even setting up checkpoints to sniff out stolen fruit or farming equipment such as copper wire used in irrigation systems. The Civil Guard says sometimes its officers mount "cage operations" - sealing off whole villages to check cars and trucks. This has emerged because of social alarm. Because of the crisis, crime is up," said the local police chief Ernesto Banos. And when cherry season comes around, people say, 'what now, cherries? OK, let's go get them. 06.45 Asian stock markets have mostly fallen this morning, as relief from Greece's election results evaporated amid worries that the financial crisis in the 17 nations that use the euro was far from over. Japan's Nikkei index has fallen 0.8pc, Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index has lost 0.5pc and South Korea's Kospi is 0.1pc down. 06.43 The Seychelles has postponed the planned introduction of VAT on July 15 because of the global economic crisis, President James Michel has said. 06.40 Spain is likely to pay record prices to borrow at debt auctions today. The yield on Spanish 10-year bonds hit a fresh high of above 7pc on Monday as initial relief over the victory of pro-bailout parties in Greece gave way to ongoing fears of deeper problems facing the bloc. Spain's Treasury will issue between €2bn and €3bn of 12- and 18-month debt today. 06.34 IMF chief Christine Lagarde has revealed that member states have promised a total of $456bn for its new crisis fund, $26bn more than a target set in April. The UK has pledged $15bn. China will contribute $43bn, state news agency Xinhua confirmed on Tuesday morning. Lagarde said: Countries large and small have rallied to our call for action, and more may join. I salute them and their commitment to multilateralism. As a result, total pledges have risen to $456bn, almost doubling our lending capacity. 06.30 While Jeremy Warner writes that we shouldn't expect any solutions from the international junketing in Mexico: 06.20 7,300 miles away in Athens, things aren't much better. Louise Armitstead and Alex Spillius report that Greece could be knocking on Brussels' door for a third bail-out as soon as a government is formed: Dimitrios Tsmocos, a senior economic adviser, said Mr Samaras intends to "honour Greece's contractual obligations but will actively and aggressively renegotiate the memorandum." Another senior aide warned of a "social explosion" in Greece if the bail-outs terms were not relaxed. Athens has to reduce its budget deficit to below 3pc of GDP by 2014 and find a further €11bn in public spending cuts from 2014 to 2016. But spiralling economic woes have already driven Greece off course. Joerg Asmussen, executive board member of the European Central Bank, said: "If one is pressing to shift fiscal targets, one should be so honest to also say that as long as a country is running a primary deficit, extending the fiscal targets will automatically mean that there will be an additional external financing need. 06.15 The leaders of the world's 20 most powerful economies may have been soaking up the sun in Mexico yesterday, but the focus remained 6,000 miles away in Madrid, as Spain pleaded for the European Central Bank to step in and stop the country's economy from spiralling out of control. Cristobal Montoro, the economy minister, warned that Spain is now in a "critical" condition and pleaded with the European Central Bank to act with "full force" to defeat markets hostile to the euro project. Bank of America said Spain may need a second rescue to tide it through the next three years, pushing the total loan package towards €450bn - a sum that would test the EU bail-out machinery and cause serious knock-on effects for Italy. A draft communique from the summit of G20 leaders in Mexico said Europe will take "all necessary measures" to hold the eurozone together and break the "feedback loop" between sovereign states and banks. A separate text for next week's EU summit vowed to "mobilise all levers and instruments," though details were thin. Italy said it would push for a "semi-automatic mechanism" - probably involving the ECB - to cap the bond yields of states in trouble. 06.00 Good morning and welcome to our coverage of the European debt crisis.
