STORYLINE:
Despite violent protests, the leaders attending the G-8 summit in Genoa focused on ways to keep a severe slowdown in the United States from pushing the global economy into a recession.
While efforts to stimulate economic growth in the rich nations and the plight of poor countries were the main topics in Friday's discussions, the leaders explored other items on the sidelines of the meeting.
Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi told German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder that he was continuing efforts to persuade Bush to accept the Kyoto treaty to control greenhouse gases.
French President Jacques Chirac was even more blunt, according to aides.
"There is no alternative to the Kyoto protocol and to the efforts to reduce green house gas emissions," Chirac told Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien, according to French government officials who briefed reporters.
Another hot topic the leaders will discuss is Bush's insistence on proceeding with development of a missile defense shield that would abrogate the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty and Japan's efforts to deal with economic problems that have kept the world's second largest economy in a
decade-long slump.
Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi used his one-on-one meetings to inform other leaders of the status of his economic rescue program.
