any clear method to the way these protesters are working, stephanie. we talked about the fact that these are desperate groups, not necessarily working together. some anti-capitalists. if we point that way, you can see a group of riot police heading up this street, along this street towards another group of protesters. but all the time what i m seeing is kind of bands of demonstrators moving independently. and what we think they are doing are trying to get to the area where the summit is being held. they would very much like to break through to that area. that would be their goal. right now the german police, despite what you re seeing, are insisting they have not been able to get none of the protesters have been able to get to the world leaders that are
