From the article: "German Chancellor Angela Merkel is in last-ditch efforts to secure climate change goals at a G8 summit marred by a row over US missile defence plans. The US has already said it and several other countries at the summit of top industrial states oppose her target. At the same time, US plans to build a missile shield in two former Soviet satellites have sparked an intense war of words between Moscow and Washington."

Russia will once again aim missiles at targets in Europe if U.S. plans to build a missile shield near Russia's borders advance, President Vladimir Putin was quoted as saying on Sunday. Putin acknowledged Russia's response risked restarting an arms race but he said Moscow would not be responsible for the consequences because the U.S. had started it.
