Swiss authorities deployed thousands of security forces as protesters gathered in Geneva to demonstrate against the G7 summit in France. The demonstration drew activists, with some violence and property damage reported.

The G7 summit is set to begin on Monday in the French city of Evian, on Lake Geneva.
In neighboring Geneva, Switzerland, dozens of protest groups joined demonstrations ahead of the elite summit, to express their frustration about growing inequality, wars, failed climate politics, and US policies under Donald Trump. The US president is expected to attend the summit, which lasts until Wednesday.
