2nd Day of Riots in Stockholm Suburb Shakes Sweden

It's hard to discern a pattern in the violence that has wracked the Swedish capital Stockholm for five nights.
Rioting in the city's suburbs has raised the national debate about immigration, unemployment and social inequality.
The cars attacked in the violence are not high-end - not the BMWs and Porsches you might expect to see torched by class warriors - but the vans which ordinary people need to go about their business.
Schools, a station and a library have been attacked as well as a bank and a police station.
In the areas affected, local people said the motive of the youths making trouble was anger over joblessness.
Some said it was simply a matter of criminality and parents were to blame for not controlling their offspring better.
There was a widespread assertion that the violence was not motivated by Islamist ideology.

I don't think it's confined to Sweden. Seems to be a whole Western phenomenon.I have lost all respect for Sweden. PC overboard.

Updated 3 minutes ago
The Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) has awarded a child $9,000 and a right to ongoing counselling after she was sexually abused by another child at a day care centre.
The tribunal heard the girl was hit, kicked, undressed and sexually abused.
Both children will turn five this year.
The victim's mother reported the abuse to police, but it was not investigated because of the children's age.
The tribunal, sitting last month, heard the victim needs counselling for anxiety and she now fears going to day care.

Reformist-backed candidate Hassan Rouhani has won Iran's presidential poll outright, avoiding the need for a run-off vote.
There was a high turnout among the 50 million Iranians eligible to vote for a successor to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
His eight years in power have been characterised by economic turmoil and Western sanctions over Iran's nuclear programme.
Here are some of the promises Mr Rouhani made and the views he expressed on the country's economy, civil rights and foreign policy ahead of the 14 June election.
