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.

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

Violent clashes between pro-democratic Hong Kong supporters and riot police have continued today, as part of a coordinated day of global protests aimed at casting a shadow over communist China's upcoming 70th birthday. Protesters have been hit with tear gas, rubber bullets and blue dye water cannon at several hot spots in the downtown area as riot police attempt to regain control of the chaotic scenes. The thousands-strong movement targeted central government offices with petrol bombs and rocks last night, and regrouped today to march along a thoroughfare near the Causeway Bay shopping centre. The second straight day of defiance has sparked fears of more violence ahead of China's National Day, the anniversary of its founding 70 years ago, on Tuesday. They were also blasted by water cannons, which is believed to contain an irritant blue dye to stain the protestors' clothes. Armed people were found among the protesters. 👮🏻‍♂️😱 #HK
