Revealed: how UK spied on its G20 allies at London summits WORLD PAPERS,
Monday 17 June 2013: Another week, another Guardian espionage revelation! This time, the paper says it has seen documents which show that UK intelligence agencies spied on delegates at the G20 summit in London. In Turkey, two domestic papers have two very different takes on the ongoing unrest; Israeli papers are taking a wary approach to welcoming Iran's new 'moderate' president-elect.
The timing of the revelation that UK security agents monitored the communications of politicians 'friendly' to Britain is sure to leave David Cameron facing awkward questions from his G8 counterparts as the two-day summit wraps. Guests from Russia, Italy, France, Canada, Germany, Japan and the US might have been having second thoughts about the security of their data after the Guardian reported the activities of delegates at the 2009 G20 event had been closely monitored.
