G8's Value Questioned |
| Analysts are calling for the Group of Eight, also known as G8, to be reinvented. The next G8 summit is about to be held in Italy. Just days before the G8 summit, L'Aquila is still being rebuilt. The central Italian town - still recovering from April's deadly earthquake - will host the leaders of the world eight's leading industrialized countries, the UK, U.S., Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and Russia. Some analysts and leaders are asking if the G8 should also be rebuilt. German Chancellor Angela Merkel, seen here at the G20 meeting in London in April - said the G8 was dead. And James Walston, a political commentator from the American University of Italy agrees with her. [James Walston, Political Commentator]: "It was very clear with the G20 in London in April that the real business of organizing the world came from a much bigger group than the G8. So they're going to have to today rebuild or reinvent the G8. But even as analysts discuss the G8's relevance - they are looking to see if the leaders can find solutions for some truly global problems. Take the global economic downturn. Here's James Walston again. [James Walston, Political Commentator]: If they can agree on how they are going to approach the actual nuts and bolts of regulating financial markets, that'll be a great achievement. If they can work out some sort of guidelines for energy ministers - not just the G8 but OPEC countries and China and the other producers of how we're going to regulate oil prices." Aid for Africa and other developing countries - has been the focus of previous summits. Irish singer and anti-poverty campaigner Bob Geldof recently berated the summit's host, Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, for cutting Italy's aid budget. And aid organizations are worried wealthy countries will reduce their aid donations further during the global economic downturn. [Livia Zoli, Actionaid's Right to Food Program]: "We are convinced that it's not a problem of having actually the money, it's just a problem of political will." There's skepticism over what the G8 leaders can actually achieve during the summit here in L'Aquila. But it's also unclear whether a revamped G8 would be any more effective. | |

When is a Coup Not a Coup? |
| A surreal event took place on July 7, 2009, at the National Press Club, in Washington, D.C. It was so strange that I thought that the late, great British comedic actor, Peter Sellers, was going to make a cameo appearance! Some of the representatives of the "de facto" regime in Honduras, repeatedly denied that President Manuel Zelaya was overthrown in a military coup on June 28, 2009. At the beginning of the press conference, protesters staged a brief demonstration. On this video, you will see and hear the spin on the matter from former Honduras Ambassador to the U.S., one Roberto Flores Bermudez. For background on the coup d'etat, see: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/30/world/americas/30honduras.html and http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1907600,00.html and http://upsidedownworld.org/main/content/view/1970/68/ and http://www.pasionvioleta.com/en-el-campo-grande-f17/fuera-golpistas-de-honduras-t2937.htm and ttp://www.afterdowningstreet.org/node/44258 For a historical perspective, check out Stephen KInzer's excellent tome, "Overthrow: Americas Century of Regime Change from Hawaii to Iraq," at: http://www.thepeoplesvoice.org/cgi-bin/blogs/voices.php/2008/04/01/p24467#more24467 There is a concise chapter in the book dealing with Honduras. | |
