used shock tactics to win support for a tough G8 statement refusing to recognise Mr Mugabe's rule. He was said to have pulled fellow leaders aside to show them a horrific photograph of a driver for Zimbabwe's opposition Movement for Democratic Change who was brutally murdered last month. He told them that every day the world failed to act, similar tragedies would follow.
The G8 members Russia and Italy dropped their opposition to sanctions, breaking with the African Union and China.
At least Gordon Brown will come home with something positive approved.
