G7 Agenda Includes Steel, the Yen, Russia and Brexit

Fixing the world economy, tackling the conflicts in Syria and Ukraine, and boosting global trade.

It would be a pretty ambitious programme for any government over a number of years.

But the leaders of the G7 club of nations will be taking on all of them in Japan over the next two days.

The host country will be joined by the United States, Britain, France, Italy, Canada, Germany.

Donald Tusk and Jean-Claude Juncker, the two most senior EU officials will be there.
