Newsmax points out some of the goings on at the UN Earth Summit in South Africa. World leaders attending the summit are "gorging on mountains of lobster, oysters and filet steak at the Johannesburg conference," and washing it down with "the finest champagnes and wines." Meanwhile, "desperate kids in nearby shanty towns queued for water at standpipes," and "South Africans are starving in slums just a few miles away."

Also, "Reuters reported that activists vowed to press ahead with a banned protest march Saturday from a slum to the U.N. fatcats in Sandton. South African police warn they will crack down 'very, very firmly'." The Sun notes that "in another ironic twist, hundreds of trees have been felled around the conference centre so fleets of limousines will have unhindered access."
