Geldof: Price of failure would be 'beyond catastrophic'

The price of failure at today’s G20 summit would be “beyond catastrophic”, anti-poverty campaigner Bob Geldof warned today.

If the leaders of the world’s most powerful economies do not agree measures today to protect the poorest countries from depression, they could usher in a new era of global disorder, said the LiveAid founder who has become one of the foremost advocates of global justice on aid and trade.
