Bernanke demands bail-out action.

The chairman of the US Federal Reserve has urged politicians to "act quickly" to support the proposed $700bn (£378bn) bail-out of the financial markets.
The US economy risked "very serious consequences" if measures were not taken, Ben Bernanke added.
Mr Bernanke said Congress must "address the grave threats to financial stability" which were being faced.
President Bush is to hold a prime time televised address to convince US citizens of the need for the bail-out.
On Tuesday politicians expressed strong scepticism about the bail-out following a five-hour Senate hearing on the plan.
Action by Congress is urgently required to stabilize the situation and avert what otherwise could be very serious consequences for our financial markets and for our economy More
