  • Human tea bags protest outside Sainsbury’s AGM to highlight concern over supermarket’s decision to replace Fairtrade tea  Campaigners dressed up as tea bags protest in front of a giant teapot as shareholders arrive for Sainsbury’s annual general meeting. The human tea bags’ message says ‘Save Fairtrade Tea’. The stunt by Oxfam and CAFOD is part of a campaign launched by a coalition of charities.  One of the main concerns is that farmers and workers who produce ‘Fairly Traded’ tea for Sainsbury’s will no longer have direct control over how they spend the premium – an additional payment on the basic price intended to benefit them. Instead, they will have to apply to a board set up by Sainsbury’s in London. London. United Kingdom. <br />

  • G8 leaders at Enniskilen golf course, Northern Ireland.  The tax deal proposed by the G8 is a step in the right direction for tackling hunger.<br />
It means that more tax authorities will be able to find out who owns so-called phantom firms (companies which operate as a front for other organisations as a way to siphon cash through tax havens) and crack down on tax dodging. However, poor countries haven't been included in this deal, so authorities in the developing world won't be able to access this information to claim back tax owed to them - funds which could have been spent dealing with hunger and malnutrition. This is disappointing, but transparency and tax avoidance have been forced onto the agenda by public opinion.
