This weekend, Australia's Treasurer Wayne Swan is in Britain for talks to outline a blueprint for lifting the world out of recession.

The G20 Finance minister's meeting is a precursor to the Leaders' summit early next month in London. And while Britain is adamant that decisions will be made about the way forward, many fear both this weekend's meeting and the leaders' summit will be short on concrete solutions.

Presenter: Stephanie Kennedy
Speaker: Alistair Darling, Britain's Chancellor; Wayne Swan, Australian Treasurer; Ben Bernanke, Chairman of the US Federal Reserve
