G7 summit

The leaders of the 7 major advanced economies meet in Germany this weekend and they’ve got a lot to talk about; from the Greek debt crisis to ISIS to climate change. Meanwhile demonstrators near the summit venue in Bayern are trying to make their voices and concerns heard. Martin Kaiser from Greenpeace tells us what they want to see come out of the summit and why protesting is not a waste of time.

Emmanuel Sigalas from the Institute for Advanced Studies in Vienna helps us make sense of what is going on.
