      The article offers statistics on world events for the week of June 25, 2007.

Additional statistics include the amount of money world leaders pledged to deliver to Africa to fight AIDs, malaria, and TB at the G-8 summit, and the number of climbers who have scaled Mount Everest so far in 2007.
