UN-led peace talks in Geneva aimed at ending the Syrian civil war have been suspended due to a lack of progress. Meanwhile, world leaders gathered in London to raise over 8 billion euros for Syrian refugees. The hosts criticize the cycle of spending money on war and then requesting cash for the resulting humanitarian crisis.
The G8 summit in Northern Ireland concludes with a focus on the Syrian conflict and the planning of a Geneva conference. The hosts note the "Potemkin village" nature of the summit, where fake shopfronts were erected in empty towns. They describe the G8 as a "drinking club" of elites who bypass formal rituals to make global decisions.
