Brown demands action against Mugabe

Gordon Brown has said he hopes the United Nations Security Council will now agree to fresh sanctions against Robert Mugabe's regime in Zimbabwe.

Speaking on the final day of the G8 summit in Japan, the Prime Minister said the leaders gathered there had been united in their disgust at the violence being meted out in Zimbabwe against the opposition.

He said the package of proposed sanctions agreed on Tuesday night by the G8 leaders included targeted measures against 14 named individuals associated with the regime as well as an arms embargo.
