The British Prime Minister's speech for the St Paul's Institute in the cathedral of the same name changed the tone of the debate. As Gordon Brown said, he would not get into the financial details of the Summit agenda but instead look at the 'enduring issues' behind the debate. With up to 80% of the communique, in Lord Malloch-Brown's words, already decided, the PM focused on the 'big picture'. For many people, the idea of 'global rules rooted in shared global values' may hit home. Meanwhile world leaders are converging on London. President Barack Obama arrived this evening while Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and Mexican President Felipe Calderon flew in earlier this week. President Yudhoyono of Indonesia, and President Lee of Korea are due imminently and on Wednesday President Obama will hold two key bilateral meetings with Russian President Medvedev and with Chinese President Hu Jintao. With Mr Brown entering the arena of faith, politicians and interested parties pinning hope on a successful Summit, the world now waits for world leaders to show clarity of purpose.
