		<description><![CDATA[Kevin Watkins writes in The Guardian that Africa needs G8 leaders to follow Gordon Brown and fulfil their aid pledges. But the signs aren't good.

It's easy, what with the duck ponds, ministerial hissy fits, and media hysteria in the Westminster village, to see how events in Africa can slip under the political radar – events like a few million people dropping below the poverty line, surging child malnutrition, and parents struggling to keep their kids in school.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The G20 deal was an extraordinary achievement. But for all the positives, it’s important to recognise what the G20 has not delivered.
