  • Story Text: G8 protestors arrive in Edinburgh ahead of world
    summit.




    Campaigners demanding an end to global poverty were
    arriving in Edinburgh on Friday (July 1) for demonstrations
    ahead of the G8 summit.

    Global leaders will be meeting at Gleneagles, near the
    Scottish capital, from Wednesday (July 6) to discuss issues
    including debt relief and climate change.

    At least 20 trains have been chartered from London and
    among protestors arriving on Fiday were Germans and
    Norwegians.

    One Norwegian demonstrator commented: "It's actually
    very important that we are as many as we can be and that we
    give a really, really good strong impression that we want
    to change the world and we want to get rid of poverty, yes,
    but they are the ones that are creating poverty and they
    need to be told that we don't need them."
    Concerts are also being held around the world under the
    slogan Live 8 and as part of the Make Poverty History
    campaign.
