- Russia's turnabout on Libya arouses doubts, welcome
Russia's change of its stance on the chronic Libyan crisis raised doubts from the Libyan government, but was applauded by the Libyan opposition.
Russia, which had criticized the NATO-led air strikes on Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi's forces, surprisingly toughened its stance on Libya during the just wrapped-up G8 summit held in France's seaside resort of Deauville.

- Liberian Baby J gets a good start in life | Liz Ford
Liberia's NGO-run Kingsville clinic offering pre- and post-natal care shows why healthcare matters and should be kept on the G8 countries' agendaOn the eve of the G8 summit, a baby boy was born in Kingsville clinic in west Liberia.Kingsville is about an hour's drive from Liberia's capital, Monrovia, and I was told it was known as a township. During the civil war, more than 30,000 people descended on Kingsville to escape the fighting, and for years it was in many respects an internally displaced people's camp. Those who didn't leave when the fighting stopped have turned the area into a neighbourhood, and it is now home to more than 20,000 people.The baby boy (we'll call him Baby J because his father excitedly told us his son would be named after Justin Forsyth, the chief executive of Save the Children UK, with whom I was visiting Kingsville) was born at about 1pm on Wednesday, weighing 2.8kg – a good weight I'm told – and there were no complications with the birth. His mother is 33-year-old Serena Gay, who travelled the 9km to the red brick clinic on the back of a motorbike earlier that morning with her sister and her young son, Thomas. She was in labour for about eight hours.After the birth, the midwife advised Serena to breastfeed her son for at least six months, and to return to the clinic in about six weeks to discuss family planning options – Baby J is Serena's sixth child. In the meantime, she was to rest at the clinic for a few more hours before heading home.It sounds like a cliche, but Serena really could be classed as one of the lucky ones. She had pre-natal check-ups at the clinic, which is a government centre run by Save the Children, she was able to get to the clinic to give birth, there were drugs in the dispensary and, crucially, the clinic had a trained mi 前と産後ケアを提供してリベリアのNGO経営キングスビルのクリニックでは、なぜ医療事項を示していますG8諸国。。u0026#39;agendaOnのG8サミットの前夜を維持する必要があります、男の子がキングスビルクリニックで生まれの西のLiberia.Kingsvilleは約ですリベリアの首都モンロビアから時間のドライブは、私はそれは町として知られていたと言われました

- Letter: G8 must act on health workers
This week's G8 summit in Deauville (Report, 25 May) is a chance for world leaders to step up their support for healthcare that saves children's and mothers' lives. As the UN secretary general has noted, the world is suffering from a massive gap of more than 3.5 million health workers. This includes a pressing need for at least 1 million community health workers and 350,000 midwives. Millions more existing health workers lack the support, equipment and training they need. Health workers are vital for progress on global health and development, and for ensuring the millennium development goals are met. Bold leadership is needed. World leaders each need to make new, substantial and specific commitments to expand the number of health workers and better support those workers who are already in place. To motivate this kind of bold leadership will require a powerful coalition with strong public support. For this reason, a diverse range of organisations are issuing today this urgent call for more health workers, better supported. We share a vision where there is a health worker within reach of everyone, in every community. Together we are determined to help inspire action on health workers that will save millions of lives, starting this week and concluding with a breakthrough at the UN general assembly meetings in September.Justin Forsyth, Chief Executive, Save the ChildrenDr Abhay Bang, Founder, Search, IndiaTheresa Shaver, President, White Ribbon Alliance for Safe MotherhoodFrances Day-Stirk, Director of Learning, Research and Practice Development, Royal College of Midwives and Vice-President, International Confederation of MidwivesAnn M.

- Letters: Broken promises on aid for Africa
There are sound reasons for agreeing with Timothy Garton Ash's assessment of this week's G8 meeting in Deauville (If Obama really wants to lead us to a free world, he should abolish the G8, 26 May). We already know, for instance, that the G8's analysis of their own development spending conflicts with that of the OECD, and conveniently presents figures which have not been adjusted to account for inflation. Also, the agenda apparently does not identify any time for a discussion about where they are on meeting the 2005 Gleneagles pledges. Several G8 members are seriously off track and many donors, including the UK, are increasingly focusing resources on migration, security and commercial interests. If the G8 members had all kept their promises, every child would now be going to school. Instead, for Africa, only $11bn of the $25bn promised has arrived. It is right that there are discussions planned with the prime ministers of Egypt and Tunisia – who will make their case for substantial aid and other support. However, if the G8 continue to let down the world's poorest and most needy people, we can only hope that the G20 will do better.Glenys KinnockOpposition spokesperson on international development in the House of Lords• The G20 does indeed represent a wider group of economic powers than the outdated G8. But the real challenge is that neither effectively represents the priorities of the poorest countries. Neither, it seems, does the WTO, given the US's failure to comply with its ruling that their cotton subsidies skew the market and make it impossible for millions of farmers across Africa to make a decent living.Paul SprayDirector of policy, TraidcraftG8AfricaBarack ObamaWTOAidG20guardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2011 | Use of this content is subject to o ドーヴィルの今週のG8サミットのティモシーガートンアッシュの評価に同意のサウンドの理由があります（オバマ氏は本当に無料なの世界に私たちをリードして欲しいなら、彼は5月26日にG8を廃止すべきである）

- Oxfam tells the UN we need action to feed the hungry, not words
A lengthy document is in circulation, drafted for world leaders to sign at the UN's Millennium Development Goals summit in New York. But Oxfam is calling on participants to deliver more than fine words to help the poorJust over a week to go to the big showpiece summit at the United Nations in New York. Government leaders, officials, industry bosses and many, many NGOs will convene to assess progress towards reaching the eight Millennium Development Goals agreed by the G8 in 2000. The endpoint is 2015 - just five years to go.And the tension is rising. So many people want this meeting to be significant. There has been real progress on some of the MDGs, but there is so far to go, and economic recession is going to make the donors think twice before getting into deeper financial commitments.But the prospect of a meaninglessly worthy three days provoked an outburst from Oxfam today. In the way of major governmental meetings, officials have been working on the document that the leaders will all sign for some considerable time. It is now 26 pages long and detailed and thoughtful. Who could argue with this, for instance?We recognize that progress, including on poverty eradication, is being made despite setbacks, including due to the financial and economic crises. In this context, we recognize the deeply inspiring examples of progress made by countries in all regions of the world through cooperation, partnerships, actions and solidarity. We are deeply concerned, however, that the number of people living in extreme poverty and hunger surpasses one billion and that inequalities between and within countries remains a significant challenge. We are also deeply concerned about the alarming global levels of maternal and child mortality. We believe that eradication of poverty and hunger 長いドキュメントでは、循環では、世界の指導者のためにニューヨークの国連のミレニアム開発目。首脳会談で署名する起草されます
- Saving the lives of mothers and babies - did the G8 do enough?
The G8 made maternal and child health its major initiative for this year. It was big on rhetoric - but was the money enough and what will it all mean in the long-run?So what did the G8/G20 achieve? The feel-good note was intended to be the Canadian government's maternal and newborn health initiative. It's been much anticipated, but in the end, what matters from this sort of summit is not the rhetoric but the cash. So was the money enough?Patrick Watt, of Save the Children, says no. This is his verdict below. What do others think?The G8 summit ended with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper's announcement of the Muskoka initiative on maternal and child health, promising an additional $5 billion of aid up to 2015. At first glance, the figures sound impressive: it's the job of G8 officials, going by the strange nomenclature of sherpas and yaks, to deliver an eye-catching big number in every summit declaration.But even a cursory examination of what's been pledged shows that it's very far from being the funding breakthrough needed to accelerate progress on maternal and child health. On the generous assumption that everything committed in the statement really is new money, and does materialise, it still only takes the G8 half way to meeting their fair share of the funding gap. The best estimates of the Partnership for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health, of which Save the Children is a part, are that the G8 needs to double its bilateral aid in this area from $2 billion a year to $4 billion, with other non-G8 donors and developing countries also needing to step up to the mark.There's the further question of whether everything committed yesterday meets the strict definition of aid for maternal, newborn and child health, as set out by the Countdown group of global health organi G8は今年と子の健康その主要なイニシアチブ母体のために作ら
