It's now past lunchtime in Germany, where seven world leaders are huddling for 26 hours in a bid to address an "ambitious agenda" of world issues. The latest from the G7:
- Atop the agenda today: terrorism and climate change. Angela Merkel is pushing the G7 to come to a consensus about restricting the rise in global temperatures to what USA Today frames as "a strict corridor—2°C or 3.6°F." Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Arabi will brief leaders on his country's fight against ISIS.
- After a sideline meeting earlier today, the White House says Obama and Francois Hollande found a couple areas of agreement. One, that economic sanctions against Russia should stay in place until Russia fully implements a peace accord with Ukraine; two, to stay united in pursuit of a deal to restrict Iran's nuclear program.
