The Guardian is reporting the arrest of five people, initially thought to be Greek, but in fact British.
Police say the five are not connected to any terrorist organisation. Assuming this isn't a police fit up it will certainly provide the state with more excuses for clamping down on legitimate and lawful protests.
The Guardian source said: "I think it was more designed to disrupt than injur or kill."
But the Telegraph reports that the police actually only seized imitation firearms, a flare gun and some 'extremist' literature.
It's also emerged that the entire CCTV network in central London may have to be turned off because of a legal ruling, although I suspect the government will find a way around this.
More importantly, all decisions on financial spending commitments are to be deferred to a later meeting. Or to put it another way - this G20 meeting is a total waste of time and money.
