SOUNDBITE: (English) Gordon Brown, British Prime Minister (speaking after meeting with Medvedev):\u003cbr/\u003e\"I think people recognise that the high food prices... in Britain the price of bread, the price of eggs, the price of milk - this is happening all over the world, and we've got to have a global solution to what's a global problem. We've got to get the price of food down through cutting the tariffs and subsidies in Europe and America, so we need a world trade deal. We've got to deal with some of the issues arising from biofuels, and we've published a report on that today. We've got to also deal with food production in Africa, so we have proposed that we double food production in Africa so that they can sell to the rest of the world as well. And of course it's right to remind people that about eight pounds a week is wasted in our food consumption (he is referring to food waste in Britain), and that we could do better at home as well, but these are all changes that I think could make for cheaper food in the long run, and for better quality of food for the people of this country.\" (he is referring to Great Britain)\u003cbr/\u003e5. Cutaway journalists\u003cbr/\u003e6. SOUNDBITE: (English) Gordon Brown, British Prime Minister:\u003cbr/\u003e(speaking about Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe's regime in Zimbabwe)\u003cbr/\u003e\"So I don't think that anybody is recognising the legitimacy of the regime. I think it's important that we send a very strong message internationally that this is unacceptable. That's why I believe there is growing support for sanctions against the Mugabe regime being stepped up, and I think there is growing support also for the proposal that a UN envoy be asked to go to Zimbabwe, to Harare, and to make sure that the parties in Zimbabwe know that we've got to work for a transition so that there is a legitimate government, one that we can support , and one, when it does exist, we will want to help with the reconstruction (of Zimbabwe).\" \u003cbr/\u003e7. Brown shaking hands with Jakaya Kikwete, Tanzanian President and African Union chairman \u003cbr/\u003eBritish Prime Minister Gordon Brown met Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Monday, on the sidelines of the G-8 (Group of Eight) summit of industrialised nations in Toyako, Japan.\u003cbr/\u003eIt was Brown's first meeting with Russia's new leader since Medvedev took over from his patron, Vladimir Putin.\u003cbr/\u003eMedvedev's first meeting with Brown comes at a time when Russian-British relations are at a low point, badly strained by issues including the 2006 radiation poisoning death of Kremlin critic Alexander Litvinenko in London. \u003cbr/\u003eRussia has refused to extradite the sole suspect.\u003cbr/\u003eThe latest dispute is a boardroom battle pitting British giant BP PLC and its Russian partners in its 50-50 Russian joint venture, TNK-BP - a major Russian oil producer that accounts for a large chunk of BP's reserves.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Russian shareholders are trying to push out the venture's American CEO, accusing him of acting in the interest of BP rather than the Russian company. \u003cbr/\u003eBP has accused the Russians of seeking to seize control of TNK-BP through dirty tactics and connections with the state.\u003cbr/\u003eMedvedev has said the government should not get involved, casting the dispute as a private matter to be resolved by the shareholders. \u003cbr/\u003eAhead of the summit, he suggested it was up to Britain to make the first move to improve overall ties.\u003cbr/\u003eSitting down with Medvedev, Brown said twice that he would raise all the outstanding issues in their relationship.\u003cbr/\u003eMedvedev also met three other Western leaders on Monday, in his biggest international forum since he took over as Russia's president from his patron, Vladimir Putin.\u003cbr/\u003eMedvedev also held separate talks with US President George W. Bush, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and French President Nicolas Sarkozy.\u003cbr/\u003eThe three-day summit and a slew of one-on-one meetings will test Medvedev's diplomatic dexterity two months after his inauguration as president.\u003cbr/\u003eHis solo performance could help the 42-year-old former lawyer emerge from the shadow of Putin, who ensured his protege's election in March by tapping him as his favoured successor. \u003cbr/\u003eSpeaking to the press after his meeting with Medvedev, Brown reiterated the urgency of tackling mounting concerns over the international food crisis, and he also talked about the issue of Zimbabwe's recent widely-criticised run-off election.\u003cbr/\u003eReferring to soaring food prices worldwide, Brown said it needed \"a global solution to what's a global problem,\" and suggested a number of measures he believed would improve the situation, among them \"cutting the tariffs and subsidies in Europe and America\", dealing with the issue of biofuels, and increasing food production in Africa.\u003cbr/\u003eTalking about the situation in Zimbabwe, Brown said \"I don't think that anybody is recognising the legitimacy of the regime.\"\u003cbr/\u003e\"That's why I believe there is growing support for sanctions against the Mugabe regime being stepped up, and I think there is growing support also for the proposal that a UN envoy be asked to go to Zimbabwe, to Harare, and to make sure that the parties in Zimbabwe know that we've got to work for a transition so that there is a legitimate government, one that we can support , and one, when it does exist, we will want to help with the reconstruction (of Zimbabwe),\" he added. \u003cbr/\u003eRobert Mugabe was recently inaugurated for a sixth term as president of Zimbabwe in a June 27 run-off election in which he was the only candidate, after opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai pulled out because of intimidation and violence against members of his party and supporters.\u003cbr/\u003eBrown also met Jakaya Kikwete, Tanzanian President and chairman of the African Union, one of seven African leaders attending a working lunch with G8 leaders to discuss aid to the continent.\u003cbr/\u003eA UN Security Council resolution drafted by the US and backed by Britain would require nations to freeze the financial assets of Mugabe and 11 of his officials, and to restrict their travel to within Zimbabwe.\u003cbr/\u003eKikwete said African leaders shared their concerns, but the African Union has not backed sanctions.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more description'
