"G20 summit in Johannesburg was seen as a diplomatic success for South Africa and a renewed commitment to multilaterism. South Africa secured a declaration from the rest of the G20, despite United States objections. Washington boycotted the meeting over President Donald Trump's accusations that South Africa persecutes its white minority, a claim widely rejected. The document calls for more funding for renewable energy, fairer critical mineral supply chains and debt relief for poorer nations."
"The first G20 summit on African soil broke with tradition by releasing the document at the start. And there was no ceremonial handover between the outgoing South African and incoming American chairs. Also, can Britain's Labour government satisfy both businesses and households? Plus, the weight-loss drug booming industry."
