Climate Camp: 'day of action' BBC news report, 19/08/2007

Ian Palmer's report is weak. Gavin Hewitt and Ben Ando have covered the same story for the BBC and done a much better job.

The overhead shot of a small group of protesters scuffling with police has the voice-over "protesters expecting thousands to attend must be disappointed". This is a misleading distortion. The peaceful march involved a much larger number, including local residents. As Palmer says later, only some of the protesters broke off into smaller groups.
