World leaders have come to London. And so have thousands of anti-capitalist, environmental and other demonstrators. London police are facing what they call an "unprecedented security challenge."

The Bank underground station was temporarily closed on Tuesday, and roads cordoned off after a suspect package was found.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown assures that police will act quickly if there's any threat to property or people.
