Tens of thousands of people have massed in the
German city of Rostock to protest ahead of the G8 summit being held nearby next
week.
The large crowd included many from
anti-capitalist and anti-globalisation groups.
The streets of Rostock were transformed for the
march, thought to be the largest gathering in the city's history.
But not all the protesters were quite so
colourful. Many wore an all-black uniform to avoid easy identification by
police in case trouble flared.
Some 13,000 police were out on the streets to
oversee the proceedings.
Though most protesters moved peacefully through
the city, by mid-afternoon violence had flared on the march's fringes.
Police said they came under "massive assault"
by a small group of protesters. The authorities had warned of attacks by
radical left-wing groups.
Violent protesters broke up paving stones and
dug up cobble stones to use as missiles.
Vehicles were overturned and torched, sending a
black pall of smoke over the area.
Police used chemical sprays to try to disperse
the crowd. Later tear gas and water cannon were used to drive the
trouble-makers back.
