Police in the UK have clashed with protestors in southwest England after the government introduced a bill that would give police the power to restrict protests.
Thousands of demonstrators have taken to the streets in Bristol defying COVID-19 restrictions, with reports that police vehicles have been set alight and significant damage caused to the police precinct.
The proposed police and crime bill would make it easier for authorities to set limits on demonstrations and punish protesters who refuse to comply with the rules.
