G20 nations still led by fossil fuel industry, climate report finds
▻https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/nov/14/g20-nations-still-led-by-fossil-fuel-industry-climate-report-finds

Among the G20 nations 15 reported a rise in emissions last year, according to the most comprehensive stock-take to date of progress towards the goals of the Paris climate agreement.

The paper, by the global partnership Climate Transparency, found 82% of energy in these countries still being provided by coal, oil and gas, a factor which has relied on a doubling of subsidies over the past 10 years to compete with increasingly cheap wind, solar and other renewable energy sources.

Foreign Policy - Morning Brief

The White House confirmed that President Donald Trump had a previously-undisclosed second meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the G20 summit this month in Hamburg, Germany.
 
While the White House said the talk was only a brief conversation, multiple reports say the talk lasted around an hour.

et le plus dingue…

The only other person listening in on the meeting was Putin’s Russian interpreter who translated for both of them since the American interpreter present did not speak Russian.

G20: Launch of Africa Partnership and supporting protection in “regions of origin”

Last week’s G20 meeting concluded with two initiatives towards migration and displacement. The first is the launch of the #G20_Africa_Partnership, the second, a commitment to step up “Coordination and Cooperation on Displacement and Migration.”

Among the objectives of the G20 Africa Partnership is to address root causes of migration by improving inclusive economic growth and employment, developing quality infrastructure, especially in the energy sector and strengthening the framework for private finance in the form of investment compacts. Côte d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, Ghana, Morocco, Rwanda, Senegal and Tunisia have already presented their commitments for entering “#Investment_Compacts.”

The G20 Africa partnership has received criticism among others by Barbara Sennholz- Weihard of Oxfam Germany who stated: “The narrative is: More investment will lead to jobs being created and then people stay in their home countries. However, it is wrong to see private investment and development cooperation as a way to contain migration. (As it) dismisses many lessons learned during the past decades on how sustainable development cooperation should be done. Empirical evidence strongly suggests that migration makes a positive contribution to development due to migrants’ #remittances.”

Yet on July 7 and 8, your city will take security measures that are extreme even by G20 standards. Andy Grote, your senator of the interior, went back on a previous promise to not ban demonstrations and declared a general decree forbidding any kind of assembly in a territory of 38 km2.

Predator drones, usually deployed in warzones, will circle the skies, tanks will be out on the streets, and over 15,000 police officers are expected to be on patrol, including those on horseback and with dogs.

Robots deployed by U.S. secret services will crawl through sewers and subway tunnels (doing what exactly? No-one knows since the U.S. won’t give us any information about them!) Hamburg will be transformed into an Orwellian dystopia of complete surveillance, enforced by paramilitary means; a democracy-free area.

Senators, these moves are a travesty against the democratic identity of the “free and hanseatic city of Hamburg”, to use its official name. They are a blow to the standing of European democracy as a whole and its perception across the world.

glaubt man der neuesten Ausgabe des „Playboy“ Deutschland, kommt auf uns während des G20-Gipfels in Hamburg genau das zu, was man aus einschlägigen US-Agentenfilmen kennt – nur noch ein wenig potenziert. Wenn der immer noch amtierende US-Präsident Donald Trump anreise, berichtet das Magazin, hätten seine Leibwächter vom Secret Service Überwachungsgerät dabei, das noch niemals außerhalb von Kriegsgebieten im Einsatz gewesen sei. Etwa Überwachungsdrohnen vom Typ Predator, die aus 5000 Meter Höhe mit hochleistungsfähigen Kameras halb Hamburg erfassen und Hunderttausende von Menschen – einzeln und in Echtzeit – identifizieren können, durch Wolkendecken hindurch und auch nachts (wir wollen gar nicht wissen, wobei!).

G20 conflict over protectionism: From post-war to pre-war capitalism
By Nick Beams
24 March 2017

While the dispute was over the words to be included in a communiqué, the decision by the G20 finance ministers meeting last weekend, at the insistence of the United States, to drop a previous commitment to “resist all forms of protectionism” has more than symbolic significance.

Following the meeting, the general consensus among the other powers was to downplay the significance of the split, at least publicly, in the hope that the situation could change by the time of the G20 leaders’ summit in July, by which time the Trump administration would have had sufficient time to “learn.” But given the US president’s strident assertions of “America First” and his denunciations of the present trading system as unfair to the US, that hope seems like whistling in the dark.

Former Exxon CEO ‘not aware’ of the existence of fossil fuel subsidies

According to analysis by Oil Change International — a research group focused on understanding the true costs of fossil fuels — #Exxon receives anywhere from $700 million to $1 billion in government subsidies each year.

[...] During Wednesday’s hearing, Tillerson made it clear that he would not support the G20 pledge to revoke fossil fuel subsidies as Secretary of State — a position he shares with President-elect Donald Trump, who has repeatedly called for an increase in fossil fuel production domestically.

Obama and Xi Formally Commit U.S. and China to Paris Climate Accord - The New York Times
▻http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/04/world/asia/obama-xi-jinping-china-climate-accord.html?_r=0

President Obama and President Xi Jinping of China formally committed the world’s two largest economies to the Paris climate agreement here on Saturday, cementing their partnership on climate change and offering a rare display of harmony in a relationship that has become increasingly discordant.

On multiple fronts, like computer hacking and maritime security, ties between China and the United States have frayed during the seven and a half years of Mr. Obama’s presidency. The friction has worsened since the ascension of Mr. Xi as a powerful nationalist leader in 2013.

Yet the fact that he and Mr. Obama could set aside those tensions to work together yet again on a joint plan to reduce greenhouse gases attests to the pragmatic personal rapport they have built, as well as to the complexity of the broader United States-China relationship, a tangle of competing and congruent interests.

They can break up protests with loud, piercing sound, but Long Range Acoustic Devices (LRADs) can also cause permanent hearing damage. Australian law enforcement agencies are now investing in the technology, but sound and law experts say their potential use is extremely concerning.

Australia’s police forces are buying up devices capable of causing long-term hearing damage from a distance.

The controversial Long Range Acoustic Device, or LRAD, has been used to disperse crowds in protest situations in the US.

Its use at a Pittsburgh G20 protest in 2009 left University of Missouri English professor Karen Piper with permanent hearing damage.

’We had seen these machines there [that] looked like an armoured vehicle with a satellite dish on top,’ says Piper, who had been observing the protest from a distance.

Turkey’s Erdogan threatened to flood Europe with migrants -Greek website
▻http://news.trust.org/item/20160208213511-qx48v

The account of the meeting, in English, was produced in facsimile on the website. It does not state when or where the meeting took place, but it appears to have been on Nov. 16 in Antalya, Turkey, where the three met after a G20 summit there.

“We can open the doors to Greece and Bulgaria anytime and we can put the refugees on buses ... So how will you deal with refugees if you don’t get a deal? Kill the refugees?” Erdogan was quoted in the text as telling the EU officials.

It also quoted him as demanding 6 billion euros over two years. When Juncker made clear only half that amount was on offer, he said Turkey didn’t need the EU’s money anyway.

The EU eventually agreed a 3 billion euro fund to improve conditions for refugees in Turkey, revive Ankara’s long-stalled accession talks and accelerate visa-free travel for Turks in exchange for Ankara curbing the numbers of migrants pouring into neighbouring Greece.

In heated exchanges, Erdogan often interrupted Juncker and Tusk, the purported minutes show, accusing the EU of deceiving Turkey and Juncker personally of being disrespectful to him.

The Turkish leader was also quoted as telling Juncker, a former prime minister of tiny Luxembourg, to show more respect to the 80-million-strong Turkey. “Luxembourg is just like a little town in Turkey,” he was quoted as saying.

Security breach? Mystery man caught listening in on Putin-Obama talks at G20 (VIDEO) — RT News

When Vladimir Putin and Barack Obama sat down for an informal talk in a public lobby at the G20 conference in Antalya, they could have guessed there would be prying ears. But they probably didn’t expect that the security breach would be quite so… unsubtle.

A video captured by a camera at the summit on Sunday shows a man inching towards the two world leaders in what he seems to believe are imperceptibly small steps, while demonstratively looking the other way, and almost visibly staining his ears to pick up snippets of talk.

U.S. President Barack Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin have held informal talks on the sidelines of a G20 summit in Turkey.

The White House said the 35-minute meeting focused on talks to end Syria’s civil war and that the two leaders agreed that the country needs a political transition led by Syrians.

The White House says the two leaders also discussed the conflict in Ukraine and that Obama expressed condolences for the victims in the Russian plane crash last month in the Sinai Peninsula.

The G20 summit: A spectacle of political bankruptcy
7 September 2015

The meeting of G20 finance ministers and central bankers held in Ankara, Turkey over the weekend underscored the inability of the major capitalist powers to initiate any measures to halt the recessionary forces overtaking the world economy. Rather than a proposal for concerted action, the official communique was a public relations exercise aimed at masking the acuteness of the crisis and the impotence of the economic and financial authorities.

Obama: But we’re also very firm on the need to uphold core international principles. And one of those principles is that you don’t invade other countries or finance proxies and support them in ways that break up a country that has mechanisms for democratic elections.

(3PA: The United States led coercive regime change invasions in three countries in the past thirteen years. Moreover, the international community has been funding and training proxies in the Syrian civil war for almost two years, and on September 19 Obama signed legislation to include the Pentagon in training the proxies. Presumably, these core international principles apply exclusively to other countries.)

IMF points to dangers of stagnation and financial turbulence
By Nick Beams
19 September 2014

The International Monetary Fund has added its voice to those of other major economic organisations warning of lower world economic growth and the dangers of another financial crisis, possibly sparked by a flood of capital out of emerging markets once interest rates in the US start to rise.

In a note prepared for finance ministers and central bankers meeting in Cairns this weekend prior to the G20 summit in November, the IMF said global growth was weaker than its forecast last April. It cited a “surprisingly soft first quarter in the United States,” in which the American economy experienced a contraction, weak performance in Latin America, contraction in the second quarter in Japan and “downward surprises” in Europe where “activity stagnated in the second quarter.”

Report to G20 outlines jobs and wages disaster
By Nick Beams
11 September 2014

A report prepared for a meeting of G20 labour ministers held in Australia yesterday and today has highlighted the ever-worsening jobs market in all the advanced capitalist countries and the ongoing decline in the share of wages in national income.

Authored by the International Labour Organisation (ILO), the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development and the World Bank, the report said economic growth would “remain below trend with significant downside risks for the foreseeable future.”
