Hope of a climate change finance deal seems to be disappearing
ST ANDREWS, SCOTLAND – In the grounds of St Andrews’ famous Fairmont hotel there are some acclaimed championship golf courses. I doubt very much that the G20 finance ministers and central bankers arriving here tonight will be teeing off. Having “saved the world economy” in Act 1, Act 2 appears to be the no less…

Spies, wives and porcelain teapots at the G20
Big news at the G20 summit in Pittsburgh. The economics are having to take back seat to the huge news that America, Britain and France have known for ages that Iran has a second secret nuclear facility.

It’s become the kidnap capital of the United States as a wave of violence associated with the raging drug wars in Mexico has swept across the border and into America. More than one abduction a day is reported to the police, and they know that represents…

Does the euro answer the Eastern Question?
Europe seems to be moving into gear on the “Eastern Question” – how to stop the financial crisis in Latvia and Hungary from coming back to haunt us.

WASHINGTON DC, USA – In a couple of hours the new CIA director will be sworn in – the heavy-jowled Leon Panetta who used to be Bill Clinton’s chief of staff.
