After the weekend of rioting which accompanied the G8 summit in Genoa, the leaders of the world's richest countries say the format of future summits will be changed in an attempt to limit such disruption.

One Italian man died and hundreds of people were injured in the clashes between protesters and police as the summit participants discussed global economic, political and social issues.

Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien says next year's summit will be held in a remote Rocky Mountain resort instead of his country's capital Ottawa, and will be limited to 350 delegates.
