I stand corrected, the BBC is there, but not live. Anyway, citizen journalism and livestreaming is the only way we'll get someting approximating the truth of the events of today, which I think could be heavy! More and more police walking by and an occasional police van [plus the three parked with 12+ police inside each]. The police went INSIDE the Embassy a half hour ago [just before I started watching]!....which I feel is totally illegal. They came back out without Assange. There are rumors that Assange is not in the Embassy. I can think of one way he could have been exfiltrated, but will not mention yet, in case it is not yet so, but might become so. Ask me later, when this is 'over'...if it ever is. One person had to remain in a US embassy for 19 years, I believe, as the host nation wouldn't grant him safe passage. Now, I'm furious that the Public Order Police of the UK went into a sovereign Embassy...under what law or right - NONE! In fact there are longstanding International Treaties specifically disallowing that!
One good thing - this Ustream feed has had over 57,000 views from around the World!...and one can expect that to grow much larger as the day progresses! The Ustreamer just went up to the door of the Embassy and asked the two 'Bobbies' if there was a doorbell she could ring and ask for a comment. They said nothing. She walked past them, found the bells, but did not ring. It is, after all, before 5am.
Just a very nasty verbal exchange between the livestreamer and a motorcycle policeman! Things are heating [hotting] up.
