200,000 march to make poverty history
"More than 200,000 people today marched through the streets of Edinburgh, calling for resolute action on African poverty at next week's Group of Eight summit in nearby Gleneagles.
"The Make Poverty History rally, which formed a walking band of white around the heart of the Scottish capital, coincided with the Live 8 series of rock concerts in nine nations around the world."

"At least 200,000 demonstrators from very different backgrounds, ranging from religous organisations to samba bands and the Infernal Noise Brigade to the Clown Brigade, joined today's Make Poverty History march in Edinburgh. The organisers had called for people to wear white clothes. The march was set up with staggered starting times, but because of the number of people and small funnelled start gate many were unable to join the actual march.
