Here's the first BBC coverage. They say 6 to 10 thousand protesters in the streets. IMF and world bank officials arrived quietly around 5 am, thus twarting the demonstrators main goal of not letting the meetings get underway. Still some issues about getting the delegates out, but really only in terms of how much force police will have to use to clear the area (not whether they'll be able to do it or not.)
