Biggest London Palestine solidarity demo in history. Organisers put the figure at 500,000. This is a shot of the starting point. The political establishment completely outflanked by public opinion.
Iran, 10 Oct, oil workers at Bushewer Petrochemical plant, Assaluyeh, come out on strike and protest against the regime. Potentially very significant. It was the oil workers' strike which brought down the Shah.
