  1. >> Just as citizens of the developed world feel the pinch from the credit crunch
    and rising food and oil prices, their leaders are about to take centre stage in the G8's
    biggest ever summit. When the three-day meeting, centred on a communique whose
    wording has already been largely agreed, ends next Wednesday, Japanese taxpayers
    will face a bill for 60bn yen (£283m), dwarfing the estimated £1.3m Britain stumped up
    at Gleneagles three years ago.

    Usually at this time of the year, the area's hotels are brimming with tourists, but this week
    they are nowhere to be seen. Instead, its 10,000 residents are playing reluctant host to
    thousands of police officers drafted in to ensure the safety of Bush, Brown and co. <<
