"This will require that we maintain our vigilance to address the required reforms and guard against complacency as our economies recover," the leaders said in presenting a roadmap for this year's G20 summits.

GENEVA (Reuters) - Scientists smashed sub-atomic particles into each other with record energy on Tuesday, aiming to recreate conditions just after the Big Bang that gave rise to the universe 13.7 billion years ago.
