Reuters Videos

STORY: A small group of protesters hurled petrol bombs at police, who responded with tear gas and stun grenades. The protesters then dispersed to nearby streets.

At least 57 people were killed and dozens were injured on Tuesday (February 28) when a passenger train with more than 350 people on board collided with a freight train on the same track in central Greece.

After protests over the past three days across the country, some 10,000 students, railway workers and groups affiliated with leftist parties gathered in an Athens square on Sunday to express sympathy for the lives lost and to demand better safety standards on the rail network.

Its lawmakers attended the start of the speech and then left.Lawmakers who walked out of the chamber left small placards on their desks featuring the party logo and either "space for neutrality" or "space for peace".

  • Reactions on the street after Trump's indictment

    STORY: The charges, arising from an investigation led by Democratic Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, came as Trump seeks the Republican nomination to run again in 2024. He indicated in a statement on Thursday (March 30) that he intended to remain in the race.'Finally, it shows that democracy is finally at a place where it is supposed to be, and knowing that people cannot just riot, violence is never, ever the response we need. Great job, America!' said Elizabeth Blaise, a New York City resident.'I come from a family of foreigners, so I definitely think he deserves a lot of the things that he's going down for," said Polov Joseph, a New York resident.'Totally wrong. That's all I have to say. Why is it totally wrong? That's my opinion. Why do you feel that way? It's a political witch hunt,' said an Oregon resident in Washington, D.C.'What's the difference between Clinton and Paula Jones and Trump and Stormy Daniels? Ah good question. Good question. He didn't get indicted. I know. I feel like there is some hypocrisy on both sides playing. So I don't know. That's, that's all I got,' said Alayna Daly, an Atlanta resident in Washington, D.C.'To me it's [the indictment] generally good news, but I'm not convinced that anything's going to come of it. He's probably not going to get arrested because he has enough money not to do that. And, you know, again, I, as much as I hate 'The Donald,' I think that we have bigger pressing political issues than him,' said Grace, a South Dakota graduate in Washington, D.C.'Yeah, it’s politics. I think they’re just dying to find a way to keep him from being eligible for running for reelection. I think they’re looking, if they can’t do that, then they’ll try to make him seem or try to make him appear as unpopular as possible. It seems like they’ve been after him since he won his first election,' said Mark Funk, a biomedical technician in Houston, Texas.'I feel relief. I don’t know how it’s going to end. Um, I’m not sure it’s going to end the way we want it to end, but they got Al Capone on tax evasion, so whatever it takes. I think it’s a dark part of our nation’s history and I do believe that illegal and criminal acts should be prosecuted regardless of whether or not you’re a sitting or former president,' said Lindsey Honari, a human resources consultant in Houston, Texas.

  • Israeli protesters back government's judicial overhaul

    Supporters of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's hard-right government blocked a Tel Aviv highway on Thursday in their first major protest in the coastal city backing controversial judicial reforms.After three months of tensions that split the nation, triggered protests by tens of thousands, and a general strike, Netanyahu on Monday announced a "pause" for dialogue on the measures."The people want a judicial reform," chanted the protesters who numbered in the thousands, according to AFP journalists.Tel Aviv, a liberal stronghold and Israel's commercial hub, has seen weekly mass demonstrations by critics of the government's overhaul since it was announced in early January, decrying what they view as a threat to democracy.On Monday, before Netanyahu's announcement, about 80,000 rallied in Jerusalem against the reform package, according to Israeli media.A counter-demonstration had attracted several thousands the same day, an AFP journalist said, after Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir urged their attendance.Meirav Reuvan, a 52-year-old economist, said she joined Thursday's rally in Tel Aviv to "support Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Yariv Levin", the justice minister who has spearheaded the government's efforts."We're in a democracy," she told AFP. "We won and it's crazy that they won't let us govern like the majority wishes."The government, a coalition between Netanyahu's Likud party and extreme-right and ultra-Orthodox Jewish allies, argues the reforms are needed to rebalance powers between lawmakers and the judiciary.The proposed reforms would curtail the authority of the Supreme Court and give politicians greater powers over the selection of judges.Yahel, a supporter of the reforms who joined the Tel Aviv rally and who works in tourism, dismissed the notion that Israel's democracy is in danger."I think that democracy is the will of the people, it's what the people want," said the 28-year-old from the northern city of Acre."A minority on the Supreme Court decides the country's politics. It shouldn't be like that."Israeli politicians from both sides of the aisle met this week for negotiations mediated by President Isaac Herzog, who said talks were held "in a positive spirit".A senior Israeli official said Netanyahu was determined to reach a compromise to ensure the reforms are not called into question if there is a change in government, and that an agreement seems within reach.Many political commentators and opposition figures have voiced scepticism about the chances of Herzog's mediation efforts.Opponents have accused Netanyahu, who is being tried on corruption charge he denies, of trying to use the reforms to quash possible judgements against him. The prime minister has rejected the accusation.alv-mib/mj/ami/it
