In London the Put People First alliance of 150 charities and unions marched from Embankment to Hyde Park for a rally to demand action on poverty, climate change and jobs.

The G20 will meet on Thursday and some of the options the leaders may discuss include further interest rate cuts and government spending, stronger international regulation of banks and financial institutions, and preventing a slide towards protectionism.
