biggest financial crash since the great depression. it all began when a french bank flagged problems in the united statese of one of america's biggest banks, lehman brothers, and here in the uk to the nationalisation of northern rock and the wider bank bailout. as our business editor simonjack explains, for many, the tenth anniversary of the crash marks a lost decade. the collapse of us investment bank lehman brothers saw workers take home their careers in boxes. the first uk bank run in 140th saw queues outside northern rock and a bailout for rbs, which had grown to be the biggest bank in the world. the number of homes going into foreclosure is stunning. it all started when a french bank admitted it did not know whether its investment in us property were worth anything. what started as a financial trader's caddick caused an epidemic we are still recovering from today. the crisis ripped an enormous hole in the nation's finances as a sharp downturn in the economy led to sharp downturn in government tax receipts, by 2010 at the government was having to borrow eve ryo ne the government was having to borrow

the united states may be losing a star from its flag for the first time ever. ever since the election of president trump, the campaignme for calexit, the succession ofof for calexit, the succession of california to become an independent country, has been gaining steam while the rest of us have been talking about russia. well, now supporters for that plan believe that they are closm to breaking way. they are pushing for a 2018 ballot referendum that would declare california no longer an inseparable part of the united states. and would order the governor to negotiate for greater autonomy up to and including national independence as a country. if c
