Hundreds of protestors have taken to the streets of London, UK, to march against the prosecution of 'Soldier F', charged with murdering two people during Bloody Sunday in 1972. The case has been described as 'one of the crimes of the century' by the organiser of a mass protest in London today. 500 people with flags and 'support Soldier F' t-shirts had gathered in Trafalgar Square by 11am, with the march due to set off for Westminster at 12pm. Former servicemen and hundreds of supporters formed a human chain around Westminster for the Rolling Thunder demonstrations on Saturday, The Daily Mail reported.

An urban climber known as the “French Spiderman” has been detained by German police after scaling a high-rise building in Frankfurt. Alain Robert took 20 minutes to climb the 502ft Skyper building in the heart of Germany’s financial capital early on Saturday. After descending from the glass structure, Robert, 57, was escorted away by police.

Hong Kong police fired tear gas and water cannon on Saturday to disperse anti-government protesters who threw rocks, broke government office windows and blocked a key road near the local headquarters of China's People's Liberation Army. A series of protests for and against the city's Communist Party rulers in Beijing is planned ahead of the 70th anniversary of the People's Republic on Tuesday, including at the consulate of former colonial power Britain. The protesters, many dressed all in black and wearing masks, took cover under umbrellas from the water cannon and fled after the demonstrations had taken a familiar turn into clashes with police as they have done regularly over more than three months. Police fired blue water, used in other countries to help identify offenders. #HK
