Worldwide 'Occupy' protests held over financial crisis (BBC)
Protesters in cities across the world are taking to the streets to demonstrate against alleged corporate greed and government cutbacks.

Organisers say rallies will be held in 951 cities in 82 countries from Asia and the Americas, to Africa and Europe.

Hundreds of people have already protested in Australia and New Zealand as well as other Asian cities.

Many protest groups are taking their names from the high-profile Occupy Wall Street rally in New York.

Organisers of the 15 October worldwide protests said on their website that the aim was to "initiate the global change we want".

2. Decent article
I objected to this:
...demonstrate against alleged corporate greed

There's nothing alleged about it
