Just another chance to work Mugabe into the paper, 'eh?
"Officer films as he, others are forced to vote for Mugabe" by Associated Press | July 6, 2008
JOHANNESBURG - In Berlin yesterday, Chancellor Angela Merkel said she hopes African leaders will support tougher sanctions against Zimbabwe when they participate at the upcoming Group of Eight summit.
Leaders including President Thabo Mbeki of South Africa, whom Zimbabwe's opposition has accused of bias toward Mugabe, and President Umaru Yar'Adua of Nigeria have been invited to a meeting as part of the summit in Japan, which starts tomorrow.
Beyond Zimbabwe, Merkel said the G-8 and African leaders would discuss "how the industrial countries can help African countries strengthen their own farming sector" in the face of soaring food prices.
She added that they would consider what standards should be applied to growing crops for biofuels "so that no competition with food production worldwide can arise."
--MORE--"
How about JUST GROWING CORN for food, period?!?
How hard is that, huh?

"Questions on Group of 8's reach linger as summit nears; Poverty, soaring costs of food, fuel on agenda" by Linda Sieg, Reuters | July 6, 2008
TOYAKO, Japan - Leaders of the Group of Eight major industrial nations will meet this week in northern Japan to grapple with a raft of problems from soaring food and fuel prices to African poverty and global warming, but there are doubts about how much the annual diplomatic summit can achieve.
Yeah, the people who brought you the troubles are going to fix them, uh-huh!
Officials from Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, Canada, and the United States will meet tomorrow through Wednesday at a luxury hotel in the lakeside resort of Toyako. They will be joined by the heads of other major economies, including China and India, and seven African states.
Nice that they can gather in splendor while the world lives in squalor, huh?
That makes this the largest such gathering since the event began more than three decades ago when the United States, Japan, Germany, France, Britain, and Italy met at the Chateau de Rambouillet outside Paris in November 1975 to discuss the oil crisis and a world recession.
The themes sound familiar, but the scale of the summitry, which draws huge media coverage, countless activists, and sometimes violent protests, has some alleging that the event has got out of hand.
They just couldn't resist the shot at the protesters who are against their agenda, could they?
Oh, and since you MSM types ignored Bilderberger when it was happening in your backyard, you have no standing anymore!
A Major Economies Meeting on Wednesday will bring together the G-8, the G-5, and Indonesia, South Korea, and Australia, which account for about 80 percent of the carbon dioxide emissions that cause global warming.
The problems to be tackled have also become increasingly complex and intertwined, further limiting what G-8 leaders can do to solve them in three days of meetings and socializing.
At last year's summit in Germany, the leaders declared that the global economy was in "good condition." Since then, oil costs have continued to rise and the US subprime mortgage crisis roiled credit markets and battered major financial firms.
So give them all the attention they are due, folks.
(Can't find my salt shaker)
Efforts to reduce dependence on oil and cut greenhouse gas emissions have led many countries, the United States in particular, to turn to biofuels. That has, in turn, helped push up food prices, as has rising demand from emerging countries and volatile weather that many attribute to climate change.
Yeah, about the biofuels and "climate change."
"Secret report: biofuel caused food crisis
Biofuels have forced global food prices up by 75% - far more than previously estimated - according to a confidential World Bank report obtained by the Guardian.
The figure emphatically contradicts the US government's claims that plant-derived fuels contribute less than 3% to food-price rises. It will add to pressure on governments in Washington and across Europe, which have turned to plant-derived fuels to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and reduce their dependence on imported oil.
Senior development sources believe the report, completed in April, has not been published to avoid embarrassing President George Bush.
UN-FUCKING-BELIEVABLE!!!!
Yeah, THANKS AmeriKan MSM!!!
Can you EVER BELIEVE THEM AGAIN, folks?
