- Story Text: Police on Sunday (June 7) broke up an anti-G7 sit-in protest on the road leading to Schloss Elmau, where world leaders are meeting for a two-day summit.
Five protesters managed to stage a sit-in on the B2 road before police carried them off.
Around 17,000 police have been deployed around the castle, which has also been blocked off by police with a mesh fence and security perimeter 16 kilometres around the site.
Later in the day, host Angela Merkel will hope to secure commitments from her G7 guests to tackle global warming to build momentum in the run-up to a major United Nations climate summit in Paris in December. The German agenda also foresees discussions on global health issues, from Ebola to antibiotics and tropical diseases, but that may be overshadowed by Greece's debt crisis and ongoing violence in Ukraine. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
