Protesters Press Secluded G7 Leaders on Harmful Policies
"Democracy Now!" airs weekdays at 9 a.m. PT on KCET.
As leaders of the seven wealthy democracies known as the Group of Seven hold talks in a secluded castle in Germany, thousands of protesters have been met with 20,000 police in the largest security operation in the history of Bavaria.
Issues on the G7 agenda include climate change, a $10.4 billion bailout package for Greece, and more austerity measures. "Democracy Now!" is joined by three guests: Gawain Kripke of Oxfam America, which just published the new report, "Let Them Eat Coal," Eric LeCompte of the Jubilee USA Network, and former banker Nomi Prins, author of "All the Presidents' Bankers."
