Watch: Japanese riot police ground G7 protesters in violent scuffle| News Today

Violence erupted on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Hiroshima as riot police battled people protesting the meeting of world leaders.

Police could be seen pinning protesters to the ground on Sunday after a fight broke out.

The demonstration was organized by the far-left “National Committee of the Revolutionary Communist League”, which denounces the G7 summit as a conference of “imperialism for nuclear war”.

The G7 includes the US, UK, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan – and eight other nations have been invited this year. They meet to discuss the war in Ukraine and other foreign policy issues – including their relationship with China.
