Global development podcast: what's at stake at the G8?

G8 leaders gather in Lough Erne next month for the first UK-hosted summit since the 2005 Gleneagles meeting – when commitments (pdf) to double aid to Africa by 2010, scrap unaffordable debt and spend 0.7% of gross national income on overseas development assistance were made.

What's happened since? How have development debates changed? What's at stake for developing countries at this year's summit, with tax, trade and transparency on the agenda?

The Guardian's Hugh Muir chairs the discussion in front of an audience at Kings Place in London, with the Guardian's economics editor Larry Elliott, chief executive of Save the Children UK, Justin Forsyth, co-ordinator of the Trade Justice Movement Ruth Bergan, and executive director of ONE, Jamie Drummond, on the panel.
