Brown will not follow Sarkozy in Olympics boycott threat
UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown today insisted he would attend the Beijing Olympics, despite a warning by the French that President Nicolas Sarkozy will boycott the Games unless China opens talks with the Dalai Lama.
Hundreds of Free Tibet campaigners are expected on the streets of London tomorrow as the Olympic torch relay passes through the city on its 31-mile route from Wembley stadium to the O2 Arena in Greenwich.
