Leaders of the world’s top seven industrial powers are vowing to keep the pressure on Russia over the conflict in Ukraine. Their G7 annual summit has now wrapped up in Germany. CCTV’s Guy Henderson filed this report from the Bavarian Alps.

• The morning session was a final chance to push particularly a skeptical Japan and Canada to commit to specific carbon emissions reduction targets. Though there was progress – consensus on a broader set of goals ahead of a major climate summit in December.
• Day Two also saw a number of non-G7 heads of state in attendance.
• Security was the focus in those discussions, too – with a promise to increase efforts to fight Islamic extremism from Iraq to Nigeria.
