At Bytes & Slices

Police say there are now 120,000 protesters here in Edinburgh to join the Make Poverty History demo. That's 20,000 more than they had expected.

I'm sitting at a terminal at Bytes & Slices, a very cosy internet cafe round the corner of Waverley Station, where white-clad protesters are still flowing out. There's a carnival atmosphere around the town - with hen parties and rugby fans mingling with demonstrators.

Our reporting team are scattered around the city, interviewing demonstrators including some famous names. And we'll have audio and photos from the "big moment" at 3pm when everybody joins hands and takes part in a minute's silence.
