Authorities in London are doing their best to rule out the slightest danger of anything going wrong during the G-20 summit. And on the other side, protesters are getting ready to make their point, too.

World leaders have come to London. And so have thousands of anti-capitalist, environmental and other demonstrators. London police are facing what they call an "unprecedented security challenge."
The Bank underground station was temporarily closed on Tuesday, and roads cordoned off after a suspect package was found.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown assures that police will act quickly if there's any threat to property or people.
