FT.com / Africa - Italy and France draw fire over aid:
The report is especially scathing about Italy, which currently chairs the G8 group. It has delivered only about 3 per cent of the increase it promised in 2005.
Consultations with Rome reveal it is planning to cut, not increase, assistance in the future, says the report.
Italy promised to increase its aid from $1.4bn in 2004 to $5.08bn in 2010, but by the end of last year was paying only $1.57bn.
“Based on its performance against the Gleneagles commitments, it has no credibility to host discussions of such global importance,” said Mr Drummond.

pix
Agaricus Muscarius
- What a pleasent surprise this weekend in Netro: a huge colony of Agaricus Muscarius. (The pics are taken with Treo 600)
Street fashion
- pictures taken on my last visit to Tokyo, awful fotos but good people.
Mein Schulweg
- The streets I walk from home to office.
ristoranti e bar
- This is Roberta. But the Album is not about her. It's about Restaurants and Bars. The pics have been taken by accident. In the future I'll try to show Chefs, Owners (capital C and capital O) in their places. And some coeaters as well. This shall not be a guide.
Turkey, Gulf of Gocek
- We 8 people rented a spacious gùlet with a crew of 3 and traveled along the costa turchese from Bodrum to Gocek. If I would kick in a few pictures from the caribbian islands,norway, scotland and the lakes of Engadin you would note the difference only for the absence of ships, houses and poeple. Might well be one of the last onspoiled coasts. Food is fine, too. And it's certainly not expensive.
maroc
- Let us start in Marrakesh in Jardin Majorelles because Morocco is about colours, mainly.
Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara
- In 2001 we passed 2 weeks in Tokyo, Kyoto and Nara. This picture is taken from a shop window. The shop sells sweets, something like tiny chocolate balls. Yes.
Netro
- Netro is a 800 people village about 80 minutes from Milan. I pass there a good part of the year in a house which is half an hour by foot from the village. My neighbours are cows, goats, and a few biz consultants. The beasts are fenced out, the houses are lost in the woods. This is the street leading to our house.
