With over 60,000 prostitutes, 2,500 street children, and a third of the population in poverty, has Ukraine emerged from the former Soviet Union to become the illicit sex tourism capital of Europe?
.
During the global financial crisis Ukraine suffered badly. In fact, last year it was among the world's worst economic performers. As if that's not enough, it's now taken on the dubious mantle of the sex capital of Europe. Its becoming a hub for child pornography: they bring in not just women, but 13 or 14-year-old girls - that happens all the time., says hotel security man Sergey. Despite the best efforts of anti-sex-tourism groups such as FEMEN, the illicit industry seems to have become unstoppable and is consuming its poorest citizens by the day. If prostitutes and their pimps were punished harshly, half of them would think twice., says local, Denis.

Russell Grant's Daily Horoscopes: Wednesday 25th August 2010

Weekly HoroscopesHoroscopes
 
.
Aries (Mar21/Apr20) You don't have to be wary of someone who is trying to outperform you. Today you're the one who is making the best impression on others. Should anyone raise objections about current procedures or long term plans being put into place, they will only be mock ones. You shouldn't take them too seriously. Most people know you are the right person for the job and you will be getting their full support and approval.
 .
Taurus (Apr21/May21) The road ahead isn't as smooth as hoped; you're finding bumps you never expected to come across. In these conditions you might wonder whether you're going to reach a goal as soon as hoped. You will find a way to do it even if it means accepting help from a friend. A loved one or close relative is about to experience the wonder of medical engineering.
 .
Gemini (May22/June21) You've always been curious but when searching for reasons you only find more questions than answers. You might be called in to examine a situation, set of circumstances or dispute. Volunteering to serve on a local committee could, by your way of helping, bring improvements on a local level. This gives you access to more information and through taking the initiative you can push others into making necessary changes.
 .
Cancer (June22/July23) New decisions lead to a long term commitment; this is fully justified as you will do an amazing job. No one is disappointed in you and indeed you may tend to underplay your abilities just in case anything does go wrong. Once you settle into the work you will easily deliver what you promised. It's so unlike a Cancerian to be so forward; others will respect you for taking the initiative.
 .
Leo (July24/Aug23) You're still willing to see someone who wants to apologise for a recent misunderstanding if they contact you. In fact you are half hoping they will approach you as there are questions you want answered. This may have something to do with your job or a social enterprise in which you are involved. An error has been made and a person you trusted has let you down. Once bitten twice shy. You aren't likely to make the same mistake again!
 .
Virgo (Aug24/Sept23) A difficulty you come up against won't be your undoing; you will find a way around it. The quality of your long term performance is consistent and other people know you're a person who can be relied on. In fact, someone is thinking of making you an offer because of the way you handle challenges today. For this reason, don't feel tempted to back out of an agreement recently made. It could well lead to something more interesting in the not too distant future.
 .
Libra (Sept24/Oct23) A partner in business or in more personal areas of your life wants to stand more on their own two feet. When you become emotionally involved you take it all very seriously and you will be fully committed. If it appears as if someone needs more space and privacy, start giving it to them before they ask. This will give you more independence as well as proving to others you don't need their advice or support every minute of the day!
 .
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Putting your skills and talents to work would be all very well if you weren't so rusty. You wouldn't normally feel so nervous but it may be months or even years since you last put this ability into practice. It might feel as if this is your first ever time in certain areas even if it isn't so. Once you get going, your confidence will build and you will realise that some skills, like riding a bike, you never lose!
 .
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) After plenty of problems and testing you will be relieved to notice a project is going more smoothly now. You've battled hard to get this far and this could be a good time to start taking it more easy. Why not delegate any work that must be done today and take a step back from all the activity? This gives other people the chance to show they're capable of getting on without supervision and leaves you free to do what you want with the rest of the day!
 .
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) You're proud of a friend who's remaining remarkably upbeat even if they're going through a difficult time. This is someone who has an emotional strength you can learn from. Despite the tense time you and a few others are going through don't assume this is all a bad thing. Quite the opposite is likely to be the case. Teaming up to solve a tricky problem will prove there is strength in numbers.
 .
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) A skill you have put a long time into developing can be put to good use today. In a new enterprise there isn't yet a management company in place so it's going to be a battle getting everyone to agree on what needs to be done. With persistence, you will have enough people on your side to get your own way. Be honest with others if they question your motives or ideas and you will gain their respect.
 .
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) You need everything you've got to keep up with others around you today. Life is demanding and when you add it all up, you may have put far more time and effort into some areas than originally intended. Even so, it would be foolish to pull out now you have got so deeply involved. It would be nice to devote more time to your loved ones and it won't be long now before you get the chance.
