It's also important to recognise that he has condemned violence from his supporters, and I think it's also important to recognise, when you ask the question about the Olympic torch, that the Dalai Lama himself has said that he does not want to see a boycott of the Olympics, and that's why I have said, as the host country for the 2012 Olympics that is coming up, that I will attend the Olympics as I know many others will do.\"\u003cbr/\u003e7.

We need reform of the credit rating agencies, we need the International Monetary Fund to become itself an early warning system for the world economy, and what at this time of uncertainty would give a great boost in confidence would also be the signing of a trade deal.  So there are major reforms that individual countries will have to legislate, but at a world level ought to be agreed very soon on disclosure and transparency, and on new rules and standards, and at the same time, we need to look at the institutional reforms within the IMF (International Monetary Fund) and elsewhere that are needed so that the world economy is in a better position to deal with financial turbulence in the times to come.  This has been the first financial crisis of the new global economic system for a new era, and we've got to learn the lessons urgently so that we can apply them now to deal with some of the problems that have arisen.\"\u003cbr/\u003e9. Pull out wide shot as leaders leave news conference, UPSOUND: Gordon Brown thanking people for attending\u003cbr/\u003eSouth African President Thabo Mbeki rejected on Saturday calls for international intervention in Zimbabwe where civil violence threatens.\u003cbr/\u003eThere is mounting international pressure on Zimbabwe to announce the presidential results. \u003cbr/\u003eBut South African President Thabo Mbeki, who was last year appointed mediator in Zimbabwe, urged patience.\u003cbr/\u003e\"It's time to wait,\" Mbeki told journalists as he arrived for a meeting near London of government leaders hosted by British Prime Minister Gordon Brown. \u003cbr/\u003e\"Let's see the outcome of the election results,\" said Mbeki, who advocates quiet diplomacy rather than public criticism.\u003cbr/\u003eMbeki's cautious approach comes as the opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) appeals to the United Nations to step in order to ensure Zimbabwe does not erupt into violence.\u003cbr/\u003eThe MDC won the most votes in the presidential poll, according to independent projections, but fears are widespread that Mugabe and his ZANU-PF party will insist on a run-off campaign and deploy brute force in a bid to retain power.\u003cbr/\u003eAt the conference itself, both Mbeki and Brown fielded questions on the issue. \u003cbr/\u003eBrown stressed that it was vital that results from the election, which took place a week ago, be published very soon, and said there was consensus among African leaders that international election observers should be present if the presidential election went to a second round run-off. \u003cbr/\u003e\"I've talked in addition to talking to President Mbeki about this, I've talked to President Museveni in Uganda, President Kikwete who is head of the African Union, and the determination of everybody is that not only are results not delayed where that is unnecessary, but equally that results are seen to be fair and that requires the observers that we've just been talking about,\" said Brown.\u003cbr/\u003eOn the eve of the London leg of the Olympic torch relay, Brown was also asked about his views on the Tibet issue and his decision to host the Olympic torch in London.\u003cbr/\u003e\"It's important that we recognise that the tensions between those in Tibet and the Chinese authorities can only in the end be solved by dialogue, and we would support and encourage dialogue between the Chinese authorities and those who are the supporters of the Dalai Lama.
