Tens of thousands in London march against PM, austerity
Tens of thousands of people marched through London on Saturday (April 16) in protest against government spending cuts, with some activists demanding Prime Minister David Cameron's resignation over his family's offshore finances.
Demonstrators converged on Trafalgar Square calling for more investment in the health service, housing, education and public sector pay, while some held up banners saying "Ditch Dodgy Dave" and "Cameron Must Go - Tories Out!"
The protest, which also included demands to protect Britain's troubled steel industry, was planned long before Cameron's admission last week that he once held shares in his late father's offshore investment fund.

Trudeau's explanation on quantum computing generated cheers and applause from the room and set social media abuzz.
