An English activist is in critical condition in hospital after falling 20 metres from a motorway overpass. updates on uk.indymedia.org other updates /sideviews:

This incident followed clashes between demonstrators and the police whcih lasted through the night.
It is not known yet "which" blocks were involved and it is not really appropriate to jam Eircom calling all your loved ones @ this moment.

from BCN

The swiss authorities have banned this afternoon's march against teh G8 in Lausanne as a result of last night's incidents which arose from clashes between various anti-globalist groups and the police.

After a confrontational scene at an petrol station, some 300 demonstrators dressed in black carrying fuel damaged parked cars and threw stones against the police who responded with chemical agents thought to be tear gas. The focus of confrontations was an the hotel area where the delegates to the G8 are staying. This area of the city has been closed.

The organisers of today's scheduled march have joined with the authorities of the canton to cancel the event after the disturbances last night in which the most extreme elements of all sides to put it simply ransacked Geneva.

Bagdad was ransacked by the US army and agents unknown who confined their criminal activity to emptying the Iraqi coffers of all american currency and the museums of our common archaeological and paleocaligraphical heritage.-

In Geneva water cannon has been used on group of youth protesters who attempted to close the
bridge over the Ródano.

In Calvino, anti-globalists have sealed access at the bridges and foreign delegates may not now enter the Evian area where today the G8 meeting was due to begin.

Heads of State however have been moved by helicopter to Lausanne or Evian from Geneva airport. The airport is closely guarded by both police & military units. of swiss and german origin, which is a sign of internationalism really.

In Frnace, 2000 protestors have blocked the roadways of the Annemasse and Thonon areas in Savoye(alta saboya=?). The French really are good at road blocking, allez allez,

Police forced gainthrough 10km from Antemase and have maintained their distance using chemical agents fired by hand held grenade launcher. The average police training period to use hand held grenade launchers which are capable of delivering chemical agents such as lachrymal irritants is three weeks.

To join the police fill out an application form available every few months in your local commercial newspaper or google for your local police station.

To join the movement which opposes the war which is fought daily by those with not enough food, not enough water, that is joined in daily by those hundreds of millions more properly billions who are cheated and marginalised and live without our fortress Europe, wake up!

To join the G8 as a delegate you now have a little over 40 hours to secure room in one of the helicopters, which fly like insects over our heads.

To join the heads of state, you must perhaps in common parlance sell your soul.
