G8 discussions continue

Despite the terrorist attacks on London G8 negotiators are still trying to hammer out a deal on climate change. Larry Elliott reports this morning on progress so far - the Americans have given ground in being prepared to accept that human activity contributes to climate change, but are still holding out for a magic bullet - a technological solution which will control carbon emissions without requiring lifestyle changes in the west. Paul Brown says no one else thinks such a thing is likely.

We'll be keeping in touch with Gleneagles through the day to bring you the latest. Today discussions move on to Africa.
