G-8 meeting begins, protests continue

Today it is sunny again. After a few cold and cloudy days the protests against the G-8 meeting continue with blockades of the streets that lead to the conference venue in Heiligendamm, 15km outside of Rostock. Organisers say there are more than 10,000 people on the blockades. According to several sources various groups seem to have reached the 12km long fence that walls off Heiligendamm from the rest of the world. Apparently all roads to Heiligendamm are blocked, the G-8 delegates can access Heiligendamm only by air or sea. Several KEIN.TV reporters are covering the protests and are going to publish their footage for the KEIN news later this evening.
