violence once again on the streets of
London there were ugly scenes in the
capital on Tuesday as thousands of
anti-capitalist protesters clashed with
police ahead of the g8 summit next week
dozens of people were arrested as
scuffles broke out across some of the
busiest parts of the capital
in Soho police used circular saws to
break into a squat
they then stormed the building to be met
by protesters armed with water pistols
officers in climbing gear even took to
the roof to ensure there was no escape
but that didn't stop one man from trying
in this dramatic attempt to leap from
the building luckily however he was
caught and once secured he was taken to
hospital many of the activists wore
masks and carried banners as they
marched through areas including Oxford
Street Piccadilly Circus and Soho it was
billed as a carnival against capitalism
to start a week of action before Britain
hosts the meeting of the top eight
industrialized nations at a Golf Resort
in Northern Ireland and as evening fell
police reinforcements began to arrive
with more arrests expected amid fears
more protesters would descend on the
streets to continue their fight into the
night
