KYRA PHILLIPS, CNN ANCHOR: Thousands of protesters have taken to the streets, as the IMF and World Bank hold their annual joint meetings in the Czech Republic. CNN's Walter Rodgers joins us now, live, from the capital, Prague, with the latest -- Walter.</s>WALTER RODGERS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Hello, Kyra. There is something of a confrontation line here at the Nurselski (ph) Bridge in Prague. About 2,500 demonstrators still remain in this area. They are squared off against a police line. This is relatively peaceful here. Some missiles have been thrown at the police. No tear gas, however, and no one appears to have been hurt in this immediate area. However, not far from here, perhaps, less than a mile away, 200- 300 hard core demonstrators, protesters, anti-capitalists, many of them have marched toward the conference hall through a deep gorge and up through some woods. There, they encountered the Prague police and there was a rather ugly confrontation there. Stun grenades were fired at the demonstrators about a mile from where I am standing, perhaps a little less. We could see clouds of smoke arising, suggesting, perhaps, tear gas was fired as well. The police made some arrests there. And water cannon were also fired to disburse some of the more hard-core demonstrators who had outflanked police here at the Nurselski Bridge and gone down through a gorge, climbed a hillside, and come to within 100 meters of where the International Monetary Fund and World Bank officials are meeting at this hour. In the conference hall, they could not help but have heard some of that noise because the demonstrators came within 100 meters of the congress hall. And, as I say, that was a relatively small group of demonstrators, 200, 300 maximum -- Kyra.</s>PHILLIPS: All right, Walter Rodgers, live, from Prague, with the latest on that.
