Blair embarks on G8 summit talks


Tony Blair is flying to Moscow for the first of a series of talks with world leaders to discuss Africa and climate change ahead of the G8 summit.

On Saturday, the world's richest countries agreed to write off the debt owed by 18 mainly African countries.

The prime minister will also use visits to Berlin and Paris to press for a commitment to further aid.

He returned from talks in the US last week after securing a pledge from President George W Bush on debt relief.
