UK reports from the G20 Summit
The much anticipated G20 summit starts today on April 1, 2009. With turmoil in the banking system, a rapid plunge in employment and the popping of the housing bubble in large 1st world cities, there has been a lot of tension surrounding the agenda of this meeting.
The British press has spent days hyping up the threat of protesters and terrorists disrupting the meeting. Tens of thousands of mainstream global justice and environmental activists and demonstrators have planned major marches.
Hopefully people can link some of the breaking events from British Indymedia and other good web sites here rather than filling up the wire with each new update.

Already, riot cops apparently are going nuts on bank protesters at the RBS Bank in downtown London. They say that CCTV cameras are being used (after it was claimed the whole system would be turned off, permitting police to get away with unfilmed violence?):

"Protesters smashed windows at the RBS building and clambered inside.
Sky News crime correspondent Martin Brunt said he had seen police CCTV pictures of the demonstrators removing equipment and starting a small fire.
Police on foot backed up by a line of mounted officers lined up outside the branch as smoke bombs were thrown by a baying crowd. Earlier, a protester hit an officer with a large pole during large-scale protests ahead of the G20 summit of world leaders."
