Heavy Security In London At G-20 Summit Site

Snippets from an Associated Press article about the G-20 summit security:
"At the ExCeL center in the Docklands area, where leaders of the Group of 20 financial powers held talks on the global economy, police manned barriers and checkpoints around the security perimeter, turning away anyone without accreditation within a half-mile (800-meter) radius. Police boats patrolled the River Thames."

..."As the numbers of protesters shrank, police chased a small number of demonstrators to the Liverpool Street railway station, cornering them just outside. Several rows of officers closed in on the protesters, who sat down and heckled them.

Officers moved aggressively to hustle media away from the area, yanking photographers from the balconies above the standoff and shoving cameramen out of range.

Police, who took pictures of some demonstrators rather than detaining them, said journalists were kept away from some areas as a security precaution. Most of the demonstrators eventually dispersed."

..."Police said there had been 111 arrests so far, most of them Wednesday, when some protesters broke into the Royal Bank of Scotland building and vandalized the Bank of England building."
