g. twenty yes the g. twenty is a it's a good shopping shopping opportunity for the spouses of the leaders of the countries involved whether actually very much gets done bush precisely because there are twenty people there in fact more than that because they're all sorts of international institutions involved twenty six or twenty seven all of whom need feel the need to grandstand so very little comes out of those meetings as well again really their opportunity for photos and for handshakes and not know and as i say for shopping expeditions and not much else. i disagree with john because in fact progress profoundly without. g. two would not work for the same reasons that the g. eight doesn't work and it is not enough of the major economies would be around the table if you don't have the unions there if you don't have the europeans there you're leaving out a very large amount of you know that sort of international commerce so i think that the reason that they went up rather than down was because they thought

g. twenty is their preferred. institution for coordinating international economic policy and they have tried their fortitude to delimit the g. eight to political security kinds of issues so that's why you find i'm talking about i do agree though that i mean the first person who thought the g eight made me may not be necessary anymore was sorry cozy himself the host for this meeting who was expressing doubts last summer whether you know what if the value was but. on the other hand the french have added some new things to be agenda from the internet to the arab spring to climate change in commodities and so on that they're ending up with a very large sort of. very large number of dishes on the table none of which are going to be properly cooked probably just you know it's interesting i mean from what we've heard already in this discussion here it's really agenda light it has to be agenda light because no one is going to make any really big decisions it explicitly financial economic without speaking to the chinese fir

g. twenty is still relevant. we believe that discussions in any of our four month were. leaders of global development are present are important and security should develop and still g eight countries are among leaders and. topics like middle east and north africa. for nuclear security. some of the shifts are very much for want of discussion of great leaders none of those topics can be resolved none of that you should come to the result with other countries that's clear but. finding common approaches within the draitser. helps a lot to make progress in that is illusion of most crucial you should throw around the world can you give us an example when a decision taken at a g eight summit really change the course of world history of them change the world events. are mostly talk talk talk of the changing views. is an informal leaders. for negotiators for our form of mediation to reach our formal decisions. it's important to have signals from leaders with a result the dialogue signals cannot be given or the dialogue is i'm sorry this is very important so the decisions taken at

ok happened to me and the g twenty i got a crap beat out of me for no damn he said ok so what is it that people are talking about outside the g eight what is it that they're so heated about that's going on at this particular summit i mean they're talking about regime change in yemen right now the g. eight they're talking about restoring and tightening on internet freedom they're also talking about getting rid of the dollar reserve currency and implementing book world government currency which is the s.t.r. which is going to be helped by the i.m.f. and world bank so a lot of people have a lot of reasons to be heeded but these small group of elitists who are pretty much doing things without anybody senior control. or that was in a way is that last point is an entirely true what they're talking about is if if if the if the if the dollar crashes which it looks like it's very possible there needs to be a banking system that can make up for it so there's not entire economic calamity across the world now grass i don't like that's that's what's not true is that there doesn't need to be a banker
