Being Master of British Brevity does not exempt you from some responsibility to inform. This post, in its present form, doesn't.
Interesting but nothing about oil, although this would include it
Mr Brown, who will chair the NEC, said of the new committee: "This is a new way of governing that is based on the uniqueness of the circumstances. These are new times. The global economy will never be the same again. Huge changes are taking place. We have to deal with it in a new way.
SAINT PETERSBURG (AFP) — Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said Thursday the era of US financial dominance was over, and he won the backing of Germany's visiting chancellor in calling for a "more just" system.
Both Medvedev and German leader Angela Merkel called for new measures to respond to a credit crunch that has raised fears of a deep worldwide recession since it spread from the United States into international markets.
"The time of domination by one economy and one currency has been consigned to the past once and for all," Medvedev said during a forum alongside Chancellor Merkel.
"We must work together towards building a new and more just financial-economic system in the world based on the principles of multipolarity, supremacy of the law and taking account of mutual interests."
There has never been a country on Earth that saw its economy decline and yet maintained its military superiority. So this is a national security issue.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Gordon Brown is to invite major oil-producing countries to a December meeting in London to discuss improving dialogue between oil consumers and producers. The event is a follow-up to a meeting of major producers, consumers and oil company executives held in Saudi Arabia in June in an attempt to rein in soaring oil prices.
"The invitations will be sent shortly," Mr Brown's spokesman said. "We want to invite the major oil producers, but I'm not in a position at this point to discuss individual countries."

Remote-control warriors suffer war stress
Predator operators prone to psychological trauma as battlefield comrades
updated 6:06 p.m. ET Aug. 7, 2008
MARCH AIR RESERVE BASE, Calif. - The Air National Guardsmen who operate Predator drones over Iraq via remote control, launching deadly missile attacks from the safety of Southern California 7,000 miles away, are suffering some of the same psychological stresses as their comrades on the battlefield.
Working in air-conditioned trailers, Predator pilots observe the field of battle through a bank of video screens and kill enemy fighters with a few computer keystrokes. Then, after their shifts are over, they get to drive home and sleep in their own beds.
But that whiplash transition is taking a toll on some of them mentally, and so is the way the unmanned aircraft's cameras enable them to see people getting killed in high-resolution detail, some officers say.
