- The UK Chancellor Gordon Brown has put forward a bold plan to tackle poverty in Africa ahead of the G8 Summit of rich countries in Scotland next month. But the plan is facing opposition in the US - and particularly from President George W Bush.
- With the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) in serious trouble, a prominent business leader recently laid it on the line: Business groups are prepared to cut off campaign contributions to House members who oppose the pact. "If you [lawmakers] are going to vote against it, it's going to cost you." - A panel set up by the Counsel on Foreign Relations wants Americans to stop thinking of themselves as United States citizens and to think of themselves as just North Americans. The panel has published a report called “Building a North American Community” in which it proposes a single common border around the three countries.

- For the last few years the Ghanaian market has been flooded with cheap
imported chicken from the European Union and the United States. This phenomenon is known as "dumping." Developed countries -- such as the EU and the US -- will often take excess product, whose production has been heavily subsidized and sell it to the developing world at prices that are so low, they ruin local markets.

This way the creature parents, from a social viewpoint, can legally be sent to war zones and assigned to corporation labor.
- Anti-globalization protestors dressed as monks fell to their knees in mock prayer to the gods of money as the world's most powerful central bankers gathered for their annual summit on Saturday.
