Obama and 500 staff arrived in London last night for this week's G20 summit in Docklands. The stakes couldn't be higher for a huge number of world issues including the economy. Whilst the chances of sorting out these crises this week is silm, the hopes riding on the outcome of the event are high.
Obama landed at Stanstead Tuesday night on Air Force One (on which he is capable of launching nuclear attack or working out in the gym) and was transferred to Central London by Marine One, the Presidential helicopter (complete with missile interceptors). The helicopter was in a fleet of identical decoys to prevent attack. Whilst in London he will be transported in "The Beast" - the heavily armored car that comes complete with private oxygen supply and tear gas cannon. It is unlikely to end up sitting on the south circular in traffic.
There are 200 security personnel just for the President and a team of doctors and chefs. His security staff have already checked the venues in London and done a reading of the levels of bacteria in the air.
Whilst there is the G20 meeting at the Excel centre in Docklands, there are also a number of private mini-summits. On Wednesday Obama will meet the Chinese leader Hu Jintao, he will then meet Dmitry Medvedev of Russia, Indian PM Manmohan Singh and the South Korean President Lee Myung-bak. The issues negotiated in London between Obama and these leaders are the economy, North Korea's "satellite launch", the security situation in Pakistan and Iran.
At the same time some of the biggest demonstrations in a generation in the UK are set to take to the streets of London with environmentalists, left wing groups, anti capitalist groups and even anarchists. The security operation to be mounted by the Metropolitan Police and the Security Services is set to be unprecedented. All Police leave in the capital has been cancelled.Obama and 500 staff arrived in London last night for this week's G20 summit in... more
