Environmental groups hoping for concrete action on climate change were left disappointed by talks at the Group of 20 summit on Friday. Although world leaders managed to forge some agreement on global warming - despite news of Iran's secret nuclear facility eclipsing most of the discussion at the Pittsburgh summit - greens said little of substance was actually achieved. "They haven't really produced anything that is relevant in terms of active progress," says Kim Carstensen, head of the World Wildlife Fund's Global Climate Initiative. "I'm not that impressed...

...Just asking. I have one more question and then we will turn it open to the others. It's about Hashemi Rafsanjani. For 26 years, he gave Quds Day address at Friday prayers, but not this year and during the campaign I watched you, maybe faulty translation again, accuse Rafsanjani of corruption and that he was part of a corrupt establishment. Is that one of the reasons why Rafsanjani didn't give the speech this year, and also given those accusations, what are you going to do about that in your second term? About his personal corruption?
