Can the West survive?

The leaders of 20 of the world's biggest economies will be discussing a long list of challenges -- North Korea, climate change, terror, globalisation. The summit's host, Angela Merkel, is hoping to reach an agreement on a more inclusive form of capitalism. To remind the leaders of the growing disillusionment many people feel, it's expected there'll be up to 100,000 protesters on Hamburg's streets. Protests started a few days ago. The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Rob Young asked writer and activist George Monbiotl about President Trump's speech questioning whether the West has the will to survive.
