Coronavirus: Police clash with protesters in Berlin against new COVID-19 restrictions

Berlin police clashed with protesters on Wednesday as thousands rallied against recent coronavirus restrictions near the German city's landmark Brandenburg Gate.

Protesters threw bottles, and witnesses reported smoke bombs were also set off, with riot police arresting some demonstrators. Authorities also used water cannons to disperse the crowd.
