G20 Protests
US President Barack Obama has spoken of a “sense of necessity” needed to tackle the global economic crisis.
The President met UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown at Downing Street ahead of the G20 summit of world leaders.
Thousands of protesters have gathered in the City of London. A few fights have broken out as they call for changes in the economic system.
Some demonstrators got on to the roof of the Bank of England, while windows were broken at a nearby branch of RBS.
Scotland Yard said 23 people had been arrested in connection with the protests.
Police estimated that up to 4,000 protesters – anti-capitalists, anarchists, and climate change activists – had assembled in London’s financial centre.
Police leave during the two-day summit that has been cancelled and six police forces are involved in the £7.5m security plan.
However in harsh contrast to the scenes of fight and destruction, our correspondent Mark Georgiou said the atmosphere at the climate protest at Bishopsgate was one of “music and meditation”.
