Riot Police Clash with Demonstrators in Hamburg

In-depth reporting and analysis from a global perspective. Thousands of anti-G20 protestors in Hamburg refused to remove face masks, police say.

As world leaders fly in for the annual G20 summit in Hamburg activists have clashed with police. We speak to our correspondent in the city and a protestor. Earlier President Trump warned in a speech that the West faces an existential threat. We discuss with Thomas Wright, author of 'All Measures Short of War: The Contest for the 21st Century and the Future of American Power'; and the FT's Edward Luce, author of 'The Retreat of Western Liberalism'. Also: Was Amelia Earhart captured by the Japanese. And Paul O'Grady on the dating show Blind Date's first LGBT contestants.
