Anti-Trump protests erupt across US; check photos and videos

<p>Several hundred anti-capitalist demonstrators marched in Switzerland&#39;s capital Bern today to protest against US President Donald Trump&#39;s planned visit to the World Economic Forum in Davos.</p>

<p>With placards reading &quot;Eat the rich&quot; and &quot;Fight WEF, Trump, capitalism&quot;, the protesters also targeted the annual meeting of the world&#39;s political and business elite at a luxury Swiss ski resort.</p>

<p>Davos often draws small protests against its famous participants and global trade agenda, but with the surprise announcement this week that Trump will attend this year&#39;s January 22-26 meeting, Swiss authorities warned &quot;a high potential for violence must be assumed&quot; at demonstrations across the country.</p>

<p>However today&#39;s unauthorised protest, organised by a group called RJG, remained calm and without incident, Swiss news agency ATS reported.</p>

<p>On its website, RJG said that &quot;despite a strong police presence and significant provocations from civilian police, the protest was organised successfully&quot;.</p>

<p>&quot;The World Economic Forum claims to be a platform for constructive solutions to global problems,&quot; the group said, &quot;however it remains a meeting for the establishment to discuss a neoliberal agenda&quot;.</p>

<p>A petition headlined &quot;Trump not welcome - stay out of Davos&quot; started by another group, Campax, had gathered more than 12,880 signatures by today.</p>

<p>Another protest against Trump&#39;s arrival at Davos, the timing of which remains unclear, is planned for the evening of January 23 in Zurich.&nbsp;</p>

Anti-Trump protest in Swiss capital ahead of Davos visit

<p>A Palestinian stabbed an Israeli security guard at Jerusalem&#39;s main bus station on Sunday, police said, and violence flared near the US&nbsp;Embassy in Beirut over US&nbsp;President Donald Trump&#39;s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel&#39;s capital.</p>

<p>Four days of street protests in the Palestinian territories over Trump&#39;s announcement on Wednesday have largely died down, but his overturning of long-standing US&nbsp;policy on Jerusalem -- a city holy to Jews, Muslims and Christians -- drew more Arab warnings of potential damage to prospects for Middle East peace.</p>

<p>&quot;Our hope is that everything is calming down and that we are returning to a path of normal life without riots and without violence,&quot; Israeli Defence Minister Avigdor Lieberman said on Army Radio.</p>

<p>But in Jerusalem, a security guard was in critical condition after a 24-year-old Palestinian man from the occupied West Bank stabbed him after approaching a metal detector at an entrance to the city&#39;s central bus station, police said. The alleged assailant was taken into custody after a passer-by tackled him.</p>

<p>In Beirut, meanwhile, Lebanese security forces fired tear gas and water cannons at protesters, some of them waving Palestinian flags, near the US Embassy.</p>

<p>Demonstrators set fires in the street, torched US&nbsp;and Israeli flags and threw projectiles towards security forces that had barricaded the main road to the complex.</p>

<p>Arab foreign ministers who met in Cairo on Saturday urged the United States to abandon its decision on Jerusalem and said the move would spur violence throughout the region.</p>

<p>Echoing that view, Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahayan, the de facto leader of the United Arab Emirates, said the US&nbsp;move &quot;could throw a lifebuoy to terrorist and armed groups, which have begun to lose ground&quot; in the Middle East.</p>

<p>Most countries consider East Jerusalem, which Israel annexed after capturing it in a 1967 war, to be occupied territory and say the status of the city should be decided at future Israeli-Palestinian talks.</p>

<p>Israel says that all of Jerusalem is its capital, while Palestinians want East Jerusalem as the capital of a future independent state.</p>

<p><strong>Gaza tunnel</strong></p>

<p>Along Israel&#39;s tense frontier with the Gaza Strip, the Israeli military on Sunday destroyed what it described as a &quot;significant&quot; cross-border attack tunnel dug by the enclave&#39;s dominant Islamist group, Hamas.</p>

<p>There was no immediate comment on the demolition, which came as Palestinian factions tried to meet Sunday&#39;s deadline for an Egyptian-mediated handover of the Gaza Strip by Hamas to Western-backed President Mahmoud Abbas after a decade&#39;s schism.</p>

<p>Pre-dawn Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip on Saturday killed two Palestinian gunmen after militants fired rockets from the area into Israel on Friday.</p>

<p>In the Indonesian capital Jakarta on Sunday, thousands protested outside the US&nbsp;embassy, many waving banners saying &quot;Palestine is in our hearts&quot;.</p>

<p>Leaders in Indonesia, home to the world&#39;s largest Muslim population, have joined a global chorus of condemnation of Trump&#39;s announcement, including from Western allies.</p>

<p>Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, meanwhile, said that an approaching meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) will complicate Trump&#39;s plans.</p>

<p>&quot;With the roadmap, we will create during the OIC meeting, we will show that the decision will not be easy to implement,&quot; he said on Sunday, adding that Turkey considers Trump&#39;s Jerusalem announcement as void.</p>

<p>Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reacted to critics in a statement before talks with French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris on Sunday, to be followed by a meeting with European foreign ministers in Brussels.</p>

<p>The Trump administration has said it is still committed to reviving Palestinian-Israeli talks that collapsed in 2014.</p>

<p>It said Israel&#39;s capital would be in Jerusalem under any serious peace plan, adding that it has not taken a position with regard to the city&#39;s borders.</p>

The man stabbed was a security guard. His attacker was a 24-year-old man from the occupied West Bank

Palestinian stabs Israeli in Jerusalem, anti-Trump protest flares in Beirut

<p>Trump, who arrived in Tokyo on Sunday, is set to visit the South from Tuesday to Wednesday as part of his first Asian trip as head of state that also includes Vietnam, China, and the Philippines. &nbsp;</p>

<p>He is scheduled to hold a summit with President Moon Jae-In and visit a US military base, with all eyes on his message to the North and its leader Kim Jong-Un. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Tensions flared after Pyongyang staged a sixth atomic test in September and test-launched multiple missiles capable of reaching the US mainland, while Trump and Kim have traded colourful personal attacks.</p>

<p>South Korea is a key US ally and hosts 28,500 US troops but many of Trump&#39;s critics in the South see him as a warmonger whose recent war of words with Kim has heightened tensions on the flashpoint peninsula.</p>

<p>&quot;We oppose war! Negotiate peace!&quot; the protesters chanted in central Seoul, waving banners and balloons emblazoned &quot;Peace, not war&quot; and &quot;We want peace&quot;.&nbsp;</p>

Thousands of South Koreans protested Sunday against an upcoming visit by Donald Trump and called for peace as the US President begins an Asian tour dominated by North Korea's nuclear programme.

Many slammed both Trump and Kim for heightening the risk of conflict. "Trump and Kim... are using the current military standoff for their own political gain, while we South Koreans are trembling with fear of war!" one activist said on stage.
