In a two-part online report, The Wharf talks to the people inside and outside the world's largest arms fair.

Part one looks at the protest movement against Excel's DSEi defence show, and how activists have switched targets in a bid to challenge the arms industry.

Protest group Disarm DSEi has warned police it "will not negotiate" ahead of its arms fair action next week.

In an open letter to the Metropolitan Police, the group rejected calls for greater communication as it is "not in control of any of the actions undertaken by the participants" in its demonstration.

Exhibitors, delegates and protesters are all making last minute preparations for the arrival of the DSEi fair at Excel.

Clarion Events will host its first fair since taking over from Reed Elsevier last year, and hopes to welcome around 26,000 visitors to the bi-annual defence show.

A musical protest against the DSEi international arms fair is to be held outside Excel on June 13.

East London Against The Arms Fair is to stage the action between 2pm and 5pm. The group is stepping up their efforts to pressure organiser Clarion Events into cancelling the biannual fair, which will next take place this September.

Arms fair opponents will try to reach runners registering for the London Marathon at Excel this weekend.

As reported by The Wharf earlier this month, East London Against The Arms Fair will stage a musical protest on Saturday against September's DSEi event in Docklands.

Campaigners will hold a musical protest outside the United Arab Emirates embassy as part of their war against Excel's DSEi arms fair.

The protest is directed against the state-owned Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company, who own the Royal Docks venue that has hosted the fair every other year since 2001.
