Gordon Brown might be getting his knickers in a twist about what debt cancellation means, and whether he's planning it, but there's a group of young people in Dunblane who think they can explain a thing or two. The C8 conference has just published its list of recommendations to the G8 leaders and there's no mincing words here in Dunblane.

They want an end to poverty, free education, a crackdown on violence against children and improved systems of government - including a children's commissioner in every single country.
