Yesterday's Make Poverty History demonstration was just the start of a week of political activity here in Edinburgh.
Today the G8 Alternatives counter-summit opens, with a host of speakers from around the world. Our team of reporters will be covering the event here on Newsblog. The conference aims to challenge the policies and ideology of G8 leaders, ahead of next week's Gleneagles summit.
Tonight the Stop the War coalition will march through the city to Calton Hill for a "naming the dead ceremony".
Also today, the C8 children's summit is launched - Polly Curtis explains all here.
But first of all, we'll be perusing the papers and will round up the reaction to yesterday's events.
