The G8 summit of world leaders ended with the usual positive statements about so-called progress on the main agenda items such as the conflict in Syria and a US/EU trade deal. But Russia blocked a joint G8 statement which would have called for President Assad to step down. President Putin also made it clear that a political solution is the only way to stop the conflict and that the Western plan to arm the rebels would only pour fuel on the fire. The G8 summit received a mixed reception in northern Ireland itself. Some viewed it as a positive sign of progress in a part of the world which has been blighted by sectarian violence. Others felt that the G8 leaders were war criminals and an international financial mafia governing on behalf of the rich and powerful. Like northern Ireland itself, views were sharply polarized. The conflict in Syria is very unlikely to be solved by this summit. Despite a joint statement on Syria it\'s clear that the major world powers have major disagreements on this issue. And we also must remember that the G8 has a reputation of fine words that later do not translate into reality.

BAE Systems - the UK\'s largest arms manufactures - was the first stop on what would be a fast-paced journey across Central London highlighting the capital\'s ties to the global arms trade. With scores of protestors arrested during Tuesday\'s Stop G8 demos, the police presence was a heavy one. Demonstrators from a coalition of anti-capitalists groups explained why the arms firms provoked their anger. With just days to go before the G8 Summit kicks off in Ireland the capital is the focal point. With the demonstrators taking the media and other protestors on what seemed like a magical mystery tour of locations associated with the arms trade in London. For many taking part in the flash demonstrations, the arms trade may have been the Wednesday\'s focus but it is the G8 summit being held in the Lough Erne resort in Ireland\'s County Fermanagh for which the most anger is reserved. The leaders of the world\'s eight most powerful countries have already begun arriving for the two-day summit. Protestors say they will be doing all they can to highlight their objections to a group they say is failing in its duty to the very people they are supposed to represent.

As the leaders of the world\'s eight most powerful economies - or G8 - prepare to meet in northern Ireland next week, anti-capitalist and anti-war campaigners made their voices heard. Even though the rain teemed down intermittently, spirits weren\'t dampened. The awful weather hasn\'t stopped thousands of people marching through the center of Belfast today. There are several different groups here from anti-capitalists to anti-war campaigners. But basically the message is the same, they want the G8 leaders to govern on behalf of the people rather than just the rich and powerful.

The timing of the revelation that UK security agents monitored the communications of politicians \'friendly\' to Britain is sure to leave David Cameron facing awkward questions from his G8 counterparts as the two-day summit wraps. Guests from Russia, Italy, France, Canada, Germany, Japan and the US might have been having second thoughts about the security of their data after the Guardian reported the activities of delegates at the 2009 G20 event had been closely monitored.
