Police and bailiffs dismantled Occupy London's campsite outside St. Paul's Cathedral early Tuesday, clearing one of the longest-surviving encampments inspired by the New York protest against capitalist excess.

The protesters said vans loaded with police arrived at the site just before midnight.

The local authority, the City of London Corporation, confirmed the eviction was under way by bailiffs, backed by police.

Reading from a prepared statement, Wade said that with more than half of the vote counted, he was leading 13 other candidates with 32.17%. Read more about Senegalese president admits runoff is possible
