It's been a busy day for our Edinburgh team, so we thought we'd gather it together into one post for those of you catching up.
First, the events of yesterday. Skirmishes between police and protestors led to around 100 people appearing in court today, mostly charged with breach of the peace. Listen to Jon Dennis's interview with Gildas Raffenel, a Parisian protestor who witnessed the clashes, and read more eyewitness accounts from people who were there.
Jon also wrote about claims from some that some of those involved were, in fact, locals motivated less by a desire for political change and more by the thought of a scrap with police.
Meanwhile, a group of three protesters were shivering atop a crane high above Edinburgh Waverley station, which they'd climbed up early this morning. They called our Edinburgh team to explain what they were doing up there, and you can listen to what they had to say.
More audio: Polly Curtis chatted to some of the schoolchildren involved in J8, a youth conference, who told her how they saw education to be fundamental to solving Africa's problems.
And Bob Geldof rolled into town on a Virgin train (it arrived on time) to deliver a damning verdict on yesterday's troublemakers. Sean Clarke was fascinated by his moccasins.
