[00:22.09]The G8 IS MADE UP OF POLITICAL LEADERS FROM [00:24.49]France, the United States, Britain, [00:26.71]Germany, Japan, Italy, Canada and Russia. [00:30.17]They meet every summer [00:31.21]to discuss major problems [00:32.76]that concern the whole world. [00:34.94]It is going to be remembered [00:36.28]as a historical meeting this year, [00:38.34]as the topic of Africa will be discussed [00:40.21]in detail. [00:41.95]Widespread poverty in Africa means [00:43.48]that many people there cannot get the water, [00:45.91]clothing, housing, [00:47.56]electricity or education they need. [00:50.68]AIDS is another problem of great concern [00:53.04]so sex education and health care administration [00:56.11]are extremely important.
