[Deel 647] Negers united en Verdonk verbannenquote:The Group of Eight industrialised states are on course to reach a deal on global warming at their summit next week, French President Jacques Chirac said on Sunday.
"We have had some difficult discussions and it looks like we are heading towards an agreement," Chirac said at a joint news briefing with Russian President Vladimir Putin and German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder.
France had needed to "take a very firm position" so that "this agreement could be reached," Chirac said.
Prime Minister Tony Blair, the summit's host, said last week he had been having tough negotiations with the United States, the world's biggest polluter.
Washington has refused to ratify the co-called Kyoto Protocol on carbon dioxide emissions and the greenhouse effect. The summit, in Gleneagles, Scotland, runs from July 6-8.

· A 'ghost' network of secret detention centres across the country, inaccessible to human rights organisations, where torture is taking place.
· Compelling evidence of widespread use of violent interrogation methods including hanging by the arms, burnings, beatings, the use of electric shocks and sexual abuse.
· Claims that serious abuse has taken place within the walls of the Iraqi government's own Ministry of the Interior.
· Apparent co-operation between unofficial and official detention facilities, and evidence of extra-judicial executions by the police.

In free Iraq there will be no more wars of aggression against your neighbors, no more poison factories, no more executions of dissidents, no more torture chambers and rape rooms.
The tyrant will soon be gone. The day of your liberation is near.
