"This has to be a worldwide decision to inject new ethics into trader remuneration," he said, in a combative tone. "These are our red lines. We are totally prepared to discuss other things so long as these issues are clearly dealt with and solved."

brown is preening and crowing strutting the stage like this is his show. obama rolls into town with the full vegas circus like he's elvis from the afterlife. sarkozy is like a kid stomping his feet trying to pull the plug on as much as he can because nobody's paying attention to him. oh, and merkel walks him home from school and holds his books. and all the while they're all in waiting for the one guy who can make a difference who stays low-key, out of sight and well under the radar - hu jintao.

We're getting choreography,the steps have been already decided.On the BBC the political commentator said,"a form of words have been agreed,days ago.All that is happening is fine tuning" Obama is not going to be seen to fail,on his first major conference abroad.As it's here in London,Brown will come out looking OK too.The gist though,isn't on whats agreed,or not,but if it works or not!
