UN summit in Italy to look at food security

By FRANCES D'EMILIO and ARIEL DAVID, Associated Press Writers 45 minutes ago

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon plans to urge the immediate suspension or elimination of many price controls and such agricultural trade restrictions as export bans and import tariffs to try to bring down soaring food prices, U.N. officials said Monday.
