G20 nations must strive to prevent new wars and global economic chaos

Insight and opinion from The National’s editorial leadership

November 15, 2022

Taking place under the theme "Recover Together, Recover Stronger," this year's G20 summit could hardly be more pressing, as hopes for economic recovery from the turmoil of Covid-19 are getting more and more distant by the day.

The group, which is made up of 19 countries and the EU, has massive sway when it comes to the world economy. Its countries constitute about 80 per cent of Global GDP, 75 per cent of international trade and two thirds of the world's population.

That is why they need to muster all the energy and clout they have to stop a potentially devastating global downturn.

Other powers are in attendance to support the process. On Monday, UAE President Sheikh Mohamed touched down at Indonesia's Ngurah Rai International Airport, at the invitation of the host to attend the summit. He was also there to consolidate strong ties between the UAE and Indonesia.

But the meeting will be globally historic for bleaker reasons.

Top of the agenda is the war in Ukraine, which has stressed both food and energy markets, affecting both rich and poor countries. In what some view as a blow to diplomatic progress on the issue, Russian President Vladimir Putin, one of the G20s most important leaders, is not in attendance. Instead, Russia is represented in person by Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.

Earlier speculation that both Mr Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy could share the same platform for the first time might have been dashed, but Ukraine will still rank high on the agenda, particularly for the biggest players at the summit.

Therefore, all eyes were on Monday's meeting between US President Joe Biden and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping. Tensions are high between the two, but words exchanged by both on Monday were encouragingly friendly. With an arm around his colleague, Mr Biden said "It's just great to see you". It is the first time the pair have met in person since the Obama administration, when Mr Biden was vice president.

The horrors of the Ukraine war are evidence enough that 21st-century interstate conflict must be stopped. That is why the pair were so keen to discuss others that could break out, particularly between North and South Korea and even China and the US themselves over the status of Taiwan.

The case for such collaboration at the G20 must be made in such a dangerous situation, and reinforced through actions when both return to their respective countries.

While he is in the country, Sheikh Mohamed also attended with his Indonesian counterpart President Joko Widodo the inauguration of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in Solo. It is a replica of the bigger site in Abu Dhabi, and, according to a tweet released by Sheikh Mohamed on Monday, represents values of peace and goodwill.

It is a significant visit that can remind people that, however bad things are, co-operation and friendship still has a place in global diplomacy.

At the end of the G20 conference, members are expected release a statement of commitments that delegates have reached at the meeting. It will undoubtedly be couched in the language of co-operation and collaboration so often seen in diplomatic documents. But none of it is binding. In such difficult times, taking these statements forward after the meeting will, therefore, be of tantamount importance.

Low turnout
Two months before the first round on April 10, the appetite of voters for the election is low.

Mathieu Gallard, account manager with Ipsos, which conducted the most recent poll, said current forecasts suggested only two-thirds were "very likely" to vote in the first round, compared with a 78 per cent turnout in the 2017 presidential elections.

"It depends on how interesting the campaign is on their main concerns," he told The National. "Just now, it's hard to say who, between Macron and the candidates of the right, would be most affected by a low turnout."

'The worst thing you can eat'

Trans fat is typically found in fried and baked goods, but you may be consuming more than you think.

Powdered coffee creamer, microwave popcorn and virtually anything processed with a crust is likely to contain it, as this guide from Mayo Clinic outlines: 

Baked goods - Most cakes, cookies, pie crusts and crackers contain shortening, which is usually made from partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. Ready-made frosting is another source of trans fat.

Snacks - Potato, corn and tortilla chips often contain trans fat. And while popcorn can be a healthy snack, many types of packaged or microwave popcorn use trans fat to help cook or flavour the popcorn.

Fried food - Foods that require deep frying — french fries, doughnuts and fried chicken — can contain trans fat from the oil used in the cooking process.

Refrigerator dough - Products such as canned biscuits and cinnamon rolls often contain trans fat, as do frozen pizza crusts.

Creamer and margarine - Nondairy coffee creamer and stick margarines also may contain partially hydrogenated vegetable oils.

It's Monty Python's Crashing Rocket Circus

To the theme tune of the famous zany British comedy TV show, SpaceX has shown exactly what can go wrong when you try to land a rocket.

The two minute video posted on YouTube is a compilation of crashes and explosion as the company, created by billionaire Elon Musk, refined the technique of reusable space flight.

SpaceX is able to land its rockets on land  once they have completed the first stage of their mission, and is able to resuse them multiple times - a first for space flight.

But as the video, How Not to Land an Orbital Rocket Booster, demonstrates, it was a case if you fail, try and try again.

Conflict, drought, famine

Estimates of the number of deaths caused by the famine range from 400,000 to 1 million, according to a document prepared for the UK House of Lords in 2024.
It has been claimed that the policies of the Ethiopian government, which took control after deposing Emperor Haile Selassie in a military-led revolution in 1974, contributed to the scale of the famine.
Dr Miriam Bradley, senior lecturer in humanitarian studies at the University of Manchester, has argued that, by the early 1980s, “several government policies combined to cause, rather than prevent, a famine which lasted from 1983 to 1985. Mengistu’s government imposed Stalinist-model agricultural policies involving forced collectivisation and villagisation [relocation of communities into planned villages].
The West became aware of the catastrophe through a series of BBC News reports by journalist Michael Buerk in October 1984 describing a “biblical famine” and containing graphic images of thousands of people, including children, facing starvation.

Band Aid

Bob Geldof, singer with the Irish rock group The Boomtown Rats, formed Band Aid in response to the horrific images shown in the news broadcasts.
With Midge Ure of the band Ultravox, he wrote the hit charity single Do They Know it’s Christmas in December 1984, featuring a string of high-profile musicians.
Following the single’s success, the idea to stage a rock concert evolved.
Live Aid was a series of simultaneous concerts that took place at Wembley Stadium in London, John F Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, the US, and at various other venues across the world.
The combined event was broadcast to an estimated worldwide audience of 1.5 billion.

How it works

A $10 hand-powered LED light and battery bank

Device is operated by hand cranking it at any time during the day or night 

The charge is stored inside a battery

The ratio is that for every minute you crank, it provides 10 minutes light on the brightest mode

A full hand wound charge is of 16.5minutes 

This gives 1.1 hours of light on high mode or 2.5 hours of light on low mode

When more light is needed, it can be recharged by winding again

The larger version costs between $18-20 and generates more than 15 hours of light with a 45-minute charge

No limit on how many times you can charge
