TAKE A LOOK-Trade talks, Doha and disputes

Members of the World Trade Organisation are holding
intensive talks to reach a deal in the Doha round, after G20
leaders pledged to conclude an agreement by 2010.

The WTO is also monitoring trade policies for protectionism,
as it forecasts trade will contract in 2009 by 10 pct -- the
biggest fall since World War Two.
