Prime Minister Gordon Brown gives monthly press conference

Prime Minister Gordon Brown gives monthly press conference; Question SOT - Just coming back to Zimbabwe Prime Minister, China has got huge investments in Africa and a big presence in Africa, and if they have used a veto on the eve of the Olympics, what chance would you have for them not using the veto again if you go back to the United Nations? Would it be actually morally really right to go to the Olympics, given the way that China has behaved over Zimbabwe? Brown answer SOT - I reserve the right to go back to the United Nations quickly rather than taking months. That depends on whether the mediation efforts that are happening in South Africa and Zimbabwe work. And I believe that we have got a very strong case for international sanctions, for an arms embargo, as well as for the UN envoy. As I say what decisions were made by Russia and China do not seem to me to be defensible or can be justified, and I reserve the right that we will go back to the United Nations in not too long a period of time.
