14. UPSOUND (English) Kathy Griffin, comedian: "I don't think I will have a career after this. I think he, I think he, I'm going to be honest. He broke me. He broke me. He broke me. And then I was like 'No, this isn't right, it's just not right.' and I apologized because that was the right thing to do and I meant it and then I saw the tide turning and I saw what they were doing and I went, 'Oh, OK, they're trying to spin this and making it about Barron (Trump) and obviously that was never my intent. I would never want to hurt anyone much less a child but I started to see what was really happening and then it was a mob mentality pile on and so many people have expressed to me personally across the country at my shows, they're scared so yeah, I don't know what's... I might get arrested today. I don't know."

15. UPSOUND (English) Dimitry Gorin, defense attorney: "We're gonna fully cooperate with the Secret Service in their investigation. We don't even think it should've ever been opened. She basically exercised her first Amendment rights to tell a joke and when you look at everything in the media all the times entertainers make videos or express themselves in other ways you've never seen an entertainer let alone a comedian be subject to a criminal investigation. It's really outrageous."

16. UPSOUND (English) Lisa Bloom, attorney: "You know, Kathy Griffin and Donald Trump are not equals. He is the president of the United States. We used to say that with great power comes great responsibility. We used to hold our presidents to a standard that they don't criticize artists and comedians. I mean that is the point here. He's not just Donald Trump, real estate developer, having a celebrity feud. He's using the power of the federal government against her. There's a Secret Service investigation of her which is completely ridiculous and he and his family - his family is calling on Twitter for her to be fired from her job."

Griffin: "All my jobs."

Bloom: "That's what this is about."

GRIFFIN NOT 'LAYING DOWN' FOR TRUMP, FEARS CAREER IS OVER

An emotional Kathy Griffin says she's not afraid of Donald Trump and plans to keep making fun of him but maintained that she's sorry for a video that depicted her holding a likeness of the president's severed, bloody head.

At a press conference Friday (2 JUNE 2017), the comedian at times tearful and at times laughing and joking predicted her career is over and said Trump "broke me." Since the video was posted Tuesday, she has lost her job co-hosting CNN's New Year's Eve special and had at least four comedy shows canceled. She has also received death threats that she characterized as "constant and they are detailed and they are serious and they are specific."

Trump, first lady Melania Trump and Donald Trump Jr. have publicly criticized the video.

Griffin, who asserted that she has been contacted by the Secret Service, said the Trumps are "trying to ruin my rights forever."

Griffin, 56, repeated her claim that the video was a parody, meant as a pointed comeback to Trump's remark last summer that former Fox News Channel personality Megyn Kelly had "blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of wherever."

"I'm not laying down for this guy," she said in one defiant moment. "I'm going to keep making jokes about this guy."

Griffin's attorney Lisa Bloom said the comedian has a first amendment right to make fun of the president and accused the president of "using the power of the federal government against her."

Though Griffin apologized within hours of the images appearing online Tuesday, they were met with swift and widespread condemnation.

Trump later tweeted that Griffin "should be ashamed of herself" for posting the images.

The comic has faced controversies before for her abrasive humor, but none as widespread as the one generated by Tuesday's images.

STAR SNAPS SNAPPED UP

French actress Juliette Binoche hosted an auction in Paris of photo snaps taken by top celebrities, to help raise money to defend press freedom.

More than 90 showbiz stars, included Anthony Hopkins, Robert Altman, Jodie Foster, Michael J. Fox, Constantin Costa-Gavras and Karl Lagerfeld, were given disposable cameras with which they were asked to record glimpses into their every day lives.

The profits will help the charity Reporters Sans Frontieres (Reporters Without Borders) which campaigns for press freedom worldwide.

The bidding price for the cameras started at 20 Euros ($19) each, so that as many people as possible may participate. After the auction, buyers will be free to decide whether to have their photographs developed, so that they can discover the 27 surprise photos inside, or to keep their camera intact, autographed by the celebrity-photographer.

The auction record was for Binoche's camera, selling for 4500 Euros ($4230).

Meanwhile, French footballer star Zinedine Zidane offered for auction the shirt he wore for the France-Scotland match on 27 March 2002. It sold for 3800 Euros ($3572).

Funds raised from the auction of these cameras will enable Reporters Sans Frontieres (Reporters Without Borders) to carry on its efforts on behalf of freedom of the press and especially help journalists who are in prison around the globe.

The Star Photos auction was held at the Paris Inter Continental Hotel on Wednesday June 12th.

It's an incredible story and could be poised to change the face of daytime television in South Africa.

Oscar Pistorius goes on trial for murder on Monday and the proceedings are expected to be witnessed by an audience of (m) millions.

In a landmark ruling, a South African judge has agreed parts of the trial can be broadcast live on television by three remote-controlled cameras in court, but testimony given by Pistorius can not be shown.

Judge Dunstan Mlambo, who made the decision to allow broadcasting, said he had weighed up arguments for a fair trial from the Pistorius camp with principles of open justice and freedom of expression.

Advocates for freedom of speech and more transparency in South African public life hope the decision to allow cameras into the Pistorius trail will lead to more high profile cases being covered live.

The ruling followed a petition by local broadcaster 'Multi Choice', a digital TV and radio service, who have added what they describe as a 'pop up channel' to their system.

Channel 199 will be dedicated to the Pistorius trial and bring viewers not only the live pictures from inside the court, but a steady stream of analysis and comment from legal experts.

The pop-up channel is being produced by George Mazarakis, a popular television personality who is executive producer of the highly rated 'Carte Blanche', a show which pioneered investigative journalism in South Africa when it first aired in 1988.

Mazarakis has been associated with the show since its launch.

The pop-up channel will carry advertising which the producers say is necessary to help offset the high costs involved.

A panel of executives from Multi Choice briefed the media about Channel 199 last Friday.

They were keen to point out that the content will be serious and responsible - "not just tabloid" - but acknowledge they have a gripping story to tell.

"It is all too real, it is all too tragic," says Mazarakis.

The area outside the North Gauteng High Court has become a campsite for international television channels who have descended on Pretoria to beam their own reports and analysis of the Pistorius trial around the world.

On Sunday technicians were busy setting up satellite dishes and camera positions.

Hundreds of reporters have applied for a limited number of seats in a separate room in the court complex where the proceedings will be relayed via closed circuit television.

South Africa's criminal justice system and gun culture will be under a global spotlight during the Pistorius trial, which has some parallels with the 1990s OJ Simpson case in the United States because of the celebrity factor, the sensational allegations and the fascination of people around the world.

Parts of the trial will be broadcast live on television, adding to the scrutiny.

Simpson's trial for the murder of his ex-wife and a man was televised in its entirety.

But in one glaring difference, Pistorius acknowledges he killed the victim.

The Olympian said he thought Reeva Steenkamp was a night-time intruder in his home in the early hours of 14 February last year; the prosecution maintains he intentionally shot her several times in the bathroom after an argument.

Criminal law experts believe that if the prosecution fails to prove premeditated murder, firing several shots through a closed door could bring a conviction for the lesser charge of culpable homicide, a South African equivalent of manslaughter covering unintentional deaths through negligence.

Mlambo had shown "an awareness of the competing considerations at play," said Justice Edwin Cameron of South Africa's Constitutional Court.

He declined to comment directly on the ruling, but said he favoured cameras in appellate courts.

South Africa abolished the jury system in 1969 following arguments that whites-only juries during apartheid would be unlikely to deliver fair verdicts involving, for example, a white perpetrator and a black victim.

HEATHER MILLS TESTIFIES ABOUT PHONE HACKING

Heather Mills, the former model who was once married to Paul McCartney, testified forcefully on Thursday (9 FEB. 2012) that there was no doubt her phone had been hacked by a UK journalist.

Speaking before a judge-led inquiry into British media ethics, Mills said dozens of messages between her and the former Beatle were intercepted by a journalist working for British newspaper group Trinity Mirror.

She said the incident happened after a fight she and McCartney had had in January 2001, when McCartney, then her boyfriend, bombarded her with phone calls.

The messages left for Mills by McCartney are at the centre of the allegations against CNN star interviewer Piers Morgan, who is a former editor of the Daily Mirror tabloid.

She recalled that there were "about 25 messages" asking for forgiveness and that McCartney had even sang on one of the messages.

She said she found it strange that the messages were listed as having been listened to even before she had accessed them, but said she didn't realise what had happened until the journalist, unnamed for legal reasons, called her up and confronted her with details.

"I said: 'there's no way that you could know that unless you have been listening to my messages', and he laughed," she told the inquiry.

The lawyer assisting the inquiry was quick to point out that the journalist involved was not a Daily Mirror journalist or working under the supervision of Morgan at the time.

However in 2006, Morgan wrote that he had once been played an apologetic message left by McCartney for Mills, describing it in detail and noting that McCartney even sang 'We Can Work It Out' on the message.

Called before the U.K. inquiry last year, Morgan denied ordering anyone to hack a phone or writing stories based on hacked messages.

He acknowledged listening to Mill's voicemail message but stubbornly refused to say anything about how he had gotten it.

Morgan even left open the possibility that the voicemail had been played to him with Mills' approval, but Mills said Thursday that was impossible.

"Never," she said. "Never ever."

Mills married the popular McCartney in 2002 and had a daughter with him before they divorced in 2008.

She sought and got a substantial divorce settlement, becoming a tabloid hate figure after they separated.

She is a fierce critic of tabloid journalists in general and Morgan in particular.

Earlier the inquiry heard from the founder of photo agency 'Big Pictures', Australian Darryn Lyons.

Lyons, who wrote a book entitled "Mr Paparazzi: My Life as the World's Most Outrageous Celebrity Photographer," defended his industry's employees and the practice of confronting celebrities in the street.

"I don't agree that people should be hounded up and down the street all day in any shape or form, but I do agree that people, as a part of historical.. as a part of history, should be photographed in public places - absolutely and I'm adamant about it. We have free press and a free press should be able to work in public places," he said.

The Leveson inquiry was set up in the wake of Britain's tabloid phone-hacking scandal, which shocked the country with revelations that journalists at Rupert Murdoch's News of the World routinely eavesdropped on the private communications of those in the public eye.

Several journalists have been arrested, top media executives have resigned, and Murdoch closed the 168-year-old tabloid in July.

As testimony continued for a fourth day in wrestler Hulk Hogan's lawsuit over a sex video, attorney Michael Sullivan cross-examined University of Florida journalism professor Mike Foley, about multiple news articles — many of them with racy content about strippers, nudity and at one point, toe-sucking.

Foley, who was called as an expert witness by Hogan's team on Wednesday, questioned Gawker's decision not to contact Hogan, the woman in the video or the woman's husband when it posted the sex video.

Hogan, whose given name is Terry Bollea, is suing Gawker Media for $100 million for posting the edited video showing him having sex with his then-best friend's wife.

The former wrestler has said he didn't know he was being filmed when the video was made.

Protesters lying on railroad tracks blocked a train carrying a UK TV crew on Wednesday, as they attempted to make their way to Sri Lanka's former war zone in the north.

Channel 4's Callum Macrae, along with a team from the UK news programme Channel 4 News, were in Sri Lanka to cover the upcoming Commonwealth meeting.

They were blocked in the north-central city of Anuradhapura, and the train to the northern town of Vavuniya was unable to move for more than three hours.

The team eventually abandoned their train journey to allow other passengers to move on.

Macrae made a documentary showing soldiers executing naked Tamils and other gruesome footage from the 138-day final offensive in the country's 27-year civil war.

Sri Lanka dismissed the video as fake footage and false journalism.

However British Prime Minister David Cameron said at the weekend that Sri Lanka had "serious questions" to answer after watching the documentary.

Speaking in the Sri Lankan capital Colombo on Wednesday, British Foreign Secretary William Hague said he was "disturbed by the incident " that had taken place involving the British team of journalists.

He stated that, to him, "freedom of access to the media is very, very important."

Sri Lanka will host a Commonwealth summit this weekend with the global focus trained on the country's 27-year civil war and alleged atrocities committed by both rebels and soldiers who, despite a sustained international outcry, have been spared from investigations and prosecutions since the war ended in 2009.

The leaders of Canada and India are boycotting the summit for those reasons.

Others have had to justify their plans to attend by promising to bring Sri Lanka's government to task.

Queen Elizabeth II, who is 87, is not going, but her son, Prince Charles, is presiding over the meeting.

Sri Lanka denies any rights abuses were committed by its forces and it has balked at demands for an independent investigation.

The country's leaders also accuse journalists of fabricating allegations of atrocities, and stand staunchly by a clan-like government that has alarmed many democracies in the West.

Washington's once-glitzy "nerd prom" was briefly upstaged Saturday as comedians and Hollywood stars gathered for jokes and jests about President Donald Trump for a tongue-in-cheek event to counter the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner.

Late-night TV star Samantha Bee pulled in celebrities for the first "Not the White House Correspondents' Dinner": Alysia Reiner of "Orange Is the New Black," Retta of "Parks and Recreation" and Matt Walsh of "Veep."

Bee's show, a comedic tribute to American news organizations, featured actor Will Ferrell and other guests roasting Trump and his allies.

Bee, who hosts TBS' weekly show "Full Frontal," said she cared deeply about the press.

Bee's taped show singled out the Committee to Protect Journalists, the nonprofit group that will receive proceeds from the show.

The show humorously assailed topics like "alternative facts," a remark once made by Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway that drew heavy criticism.

So when we endeavoured to do this dinner, this event, we thought, who can we give, I mean CPJ (The Committee to Protect Journalists) just come up for us immediately. It seemed very logical. We're doing an event that celebrates the freedom of the press. We care deeply about it. I mean we couldn't do our show. For God's sake, we could not do our show if things were more restricted. So nobody needs press freedom, more than we do."

10. American comedian Matt Walsh talking to media

11. SOUNDBITE (English) Matt Walsh, American comedian:

"It's more important than ever, obviously the administrations have been hostile to the media before but this one is particularly isolating or singling out the retailers of media that they like and the positive ones so more than ever it's a burden on the free media, like you guys, to challenge them and take them to task, to not quit, to not take it personal that they're disrespectful and to be the voice of the people. So more than ever, it's super important."

JON STEWART PREMIERES ROSEWATER AT TIFF

Daily Show host Jon Stewart attended the premiere of his passion project, 'Rosewater' Monday (9 September 2014) at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Stewart made his directorial debut with the film that tells the story of Iran-Canadian journalist Maziar Bahari. It based on his book that describes his five-month imprisonment in Iran in 2009 for alleged spying.

With Stewart, the Daily Show has become more than a "fake news" comedy show, but a barometer for what's happening around the world. "Rosewater" is a serious movie, and when asked what made him think he could actually pull it off, Stewart was quick to respond.

"Very little makes me believe I can pull this off. (laughs) Hopefully, I think it's an extension of a long career and getting to stretch out and do different things. But mostly it's about Maziar (Bahari) and the book that he wrote about it and how compelling that was," Stewart said.

Stewart struck up a friendship with Bahari.

"I think just becoming friendly with Maziar after he was released from prison. We used to just meet in New York and have breakfast. We would talk about the book and talk about our families and - when I read the book the level of emotion and complexity and everything that was in there. But also the humor that he was able to keep when he was in prison. It kind of struck me."

Stewart feels he's learned more about the obstacles that face journalists today.

"Journalism has expanded now with technology and bloggers and activists and everybody. Regimes in the east, in the west, in America are finding different levers of power to try and stifle it. So I thought this was a very appropriate and urgent story given what's happening to journalists. Not just the incredibly egregious examples that we see, but a more ubiquitous kind of -- being arrested, being harassed, being hassled and that was a lot of the basis of the story," Stewart said.

While the film depicts Bahari's ordeal, he feels it's not really about him, but the problem as a whole.

"It feels good because we are talking about subjects that are dear to me, we are talking about what journalists in Iran and other authoritarian regimes are going through every day. The story of the film is really not my story. It's the story of many of my colleagues, my friends in different parts of the world and being in Toronto, it provides us a platform to talk about that," Bahari said.

In the film, he's played by Gael Garcia Bernal.

"It is set in a specific place, in a specific context, but it is about a worldwide issue, which is the prosecution for, err, the prosecution against freedom of speech, against journalists all over the world, drawing a complicated question, which is solitary confinement is also torture," Bernal said.

'Rosewater' opens in U.S. theaters on Nov. 7.

Mandarin/Eng/Nat

Hong Kong's first ever trade fair for film and TV kicked off Wednesday featuring more than 70 exhibitors.

The Hong Kong International Film Market, "Filmart" allows international and local distributors to showcase their productions to a variety of entertainment industry heavyweights.

But with merely 19-days remaining before China resumes sovereignty on the British colony, fears of censorship may cause concern in this year's debut exhibition.

Hong Kong's International Film Market opened Wednesday in the territory.

Local celebrities, such as action star Chow Yun-fatt also attended the opening ceremony.

Hong Kong is the world's second largest movie distributor behind the US, exporting more than 200 titles each year.

It is the third largest film producer in the world after Hollywood and Bollywood, India's equivalent of the American movie hub.

For Hong Kong's film industry, uncertainty concerning freedom of expression and freedom of art are what worries film producers.

Whether these liberties will remain without interference from the Central government once China takes over, is still questionable.

Many say Hong Kong's film market will have the same freedoms after the territory reverts to Chinese sovereignty on July 1st.

The Secretary for Broadcasting and Culture guarantees the government will keep minimum intervention while providing the maximum support after handover.

SOUNDBITE (English):

"Film and Television industry will continue to be governed by the existing laws of Hong Kong. And the existing laws only limits their freedom of expression in respect of sex and violence, beyond that we do not have other criteria to say which film or TV program

may or may not be able to be shown. And that will continue to be the case after 1997, after the 1st of July. "

SUPERCAPTION: Chau Tak Hay, Hong Kong Secretary for Broadcasting, Culture and Sport

Others fear that tight government censorship will apply to the territory as it currently does in Mainland China.

Production is only allowed in official studios in China and all scripts must have the ministry's approval prior to public showing.

With talks on unification along the China and Taiwan straits, Taiwanese film makers are optimistic about Hong Kong's future.

They say the handover will actually bring the Mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan closer together.

SOUNDBITE (Mandarin):

"I don't think 97 will have any effect because we do get to corporate with the Mainaldn Chinese and purchase their films, so I don't think 97 will have any effect. it may even be better for us (our industry)."

SUPER CAPTION: Wu Kon, spokesperson for the Motion Pictures Association of Taipei

Hong Kong TV giant TVB also think the handover will have a positive effect on Hong Kong.

SOUNDBITE (English):

"Well, if there is anything on the film industry, the handover will give us greater opportunities for working with China and working with many of the countries in the region. So there should be a positive effect on the handover."

SUPER CAPTION: Alex Ying, general manager of Television Broadcasts Limited

With the world focusing on the Hong Kong handover which will take place in less than 20 days, Hollywood is also cashing in on this historic event.

Hong Kong born director Wayne Wang is making a film "The Chinese Box" staring British actor Jeremy Irons and the rising Chinese star Gong Li in a love story focusing on the exciting moments surrounding this once-in-a-lifetime occasion.

STORYLINE:

Moments after a Florida jury hit Gawker Media and its founder with $25 million in punitive damages for publishing a sex tape of Hulk Hogan, the former pro wrestler told a gaggle of reporters that he and his legal team "made history."

Hogan said Monday evening that he thought "we've protected a lot of people from going through what I went through."

The smiling 62-year-old, who wore all black throughout the three-week trial, added that he's been overwhelmed with support by fans.

The punitive damages come on top of $115 million the jury imposed Friday after two weeks of trial.

One juror, 35-year-old Salina Stevens, told reporters that watching the video posted by Gawker finally convinced her to find for Hogan.

KATHY GRIFFIN WARNS HER NIGHTMARE CAN HAPPEN TO YOU

Kathy Griffin is ready to laugh with Americans about the time a controversial photograph got her in hot water with the feds - but she has a warning amid the jokes.

"I really do believe if it happened to me it can happen to you."

Griffin will embark on a North American tour this summer, a year after she was widely condemned for posing for a picture in which she gripped a bloodied rendering of Donald Trump's head.

Ten months on, she is unbowed.

"I'm the same girl I've always been _ just a hardworking, obnoxious, red-haired comedy girl. The whole time I've been consistent in just trying to make you laugh," she says. "Am I shocking sometimes? For sure. Do I go too far? I hope so. That's my job."

The "Suddenly Susan" and "Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List" star lost income, received death threats, was denounced by Trump, landed on an Interpol list and was afraid to leave her home. She says she was under investigation by the Department of Justice for two months.

"It shouldn't happen to an American citizen," she says, adding she worries that a 13-year-old who puts the same kind of photo on Twitter would trigger a federal investigation.

Griffin insists that while she understands people don't like the image, it is a form of free speech.

"If there's one amendment I'm familiar with it's the First Amendment. I know it back and forth and it's how I make my living."

The comedian's life changed radically last May, when the image came out.

"I really never thought that photo would take off at all. Like I've been doing 'shocking' things my whole career. Donald Trump has personally twice hired me to roast him," she says, calling the fallout "faux-outrage."

She admits to a few missteps, including a hastily put-together apology video followed by a press conference with attorney Lisa Bloom in which she called Trump a "bully" - merely worsened the still-spiraling disaster.

"My social media was so flooded that I really thought, 'OK, I am the most reviled person in the world right now," she recalls. "It's been a long time to sort of process that and figure out what's real and what isn't."

On the day, Griffin says many colleagues, including Anderson Cooper, turned away. But one celebrity reached out, despite not knowing her well  - Jim Carrey advised her to find the comedy in the situation.

"It was really meaningful to me that he called," she says. "Jim's advice was right on, which is, 'Lean into this topic and you'll find the comedy.' And luckily I found a lot of comedy while hibernating."

Some of her material is inspired by a phone conversation with her mom.

"My mother calls me, she was a little tipsy and she says, 'I'm watching Fox News with the sound off and they said that you joined ISIS, Kathleen. Now, of all the clubs you could have joined, why the hell did you join that one?'," Griffin recounts.

"I don't think they're recruiting 57-year-old Irish-American comedians," Griffin cracks. "I don't think I would do very well in the training camps. I've seen those videos."

Unable to tour in the United States, Griffin has been overseas, performing in 23 cities in 15 countries. This summer she plans to tour in Mexico, Canada and the United States, including stops in San Francisco, Seattle, Boston, Chicago and a sold-out gig at Carnegie Hall in New York.

"I'm trying to sort of get people to forgive me and get people to come back to me or give me a chance. And it's interesting. It's really like I'm starting all over again."

NBC Universal, Comedy Central, HBO - all of them. All the ones that are shunning me now. So, I just kind of always have to remind people like, 'Remember, you know me from an NBC show or you know me from a 'Seinfeld' guest spot or you know me from an 'Ellen' guest spot.' So, you know, I'm the same girl I've always been, just a hardworking, obnoxious, red-haired comedy girl and I just want people to see, like the whole time I've been consistent in just trying to make you laugh.

Like I've been doing quote shocking things my whole career. Donald Trump has personally twice hired me to roast him. One time on 'The Apprentice.' So, I've known this fool off and on for 20 years.

CLASHES AT BARCELONA PROTEST IN SUPPORT OF RAPPER

Clashes erupted for a second night in a row in Barcelona on Wednesday at demonstrations against the arrest of rap artist Pablo Hasel.

Some protesters threw objects at officers, set fires, overturned motorbikes to block streets, and smashed shop windows in the demonstrations.

Hasel barricaded himself in a university building earlier this week to avoid his arrest in a case centering on free speech.

After a 24-hour standoff, police detained him early Tuesday.

He was taken to prison to serve a 9-month sentence for insulting the monarchy and glorifying terrorism in a song about former King Juan Carlos I and in 64 tweets several years ago.

Hasel's legal situation has drawn considerable public attention, with performers, celebrities and politicians demanding a change in the law he was convicted of violating.

Initial reports said 30 people were arrested Wednesday, with around 20 people injured in the demonstrations.

18 people were arrested on Tuesday after violence broke out in the first protests against the rapper's arrest, principally in Barcelona and other cities in the northeastern Catalonia region.

Other demonstrations, some violent, took place in other Spanish cities both Tuesday and Wednesday.

In response to protests over the case, Spain's left-wing coalition government said last week that it planned to change the country's criminal code to eliminate prison terms for offenses involving freedom of expression.

Hasel faced previous charges for assault, praising armed extremist groups, breaking into private premises and insulting the monarchy.

Street protests over the imprisonment of a rapper turned violent for a fourth straight night in Spain on Friday, as political responses to the disturbances strained relations inside the country's coalition government.

Police in the northeastern region of Catalonia, which has seen most of this week's rioting, said some protesters pelted officers with bottles, stones, fireworks and paint in Barcelona and at least three other places.  

Other protesters set fire to large street trash containers and used them to block streets.

In downtown Barcelona, some people broke into two bank branches and tried to set a fire inside, while others vandalized and ransacked stores, police said.  

Thousands of people joined the marches, but the violence appeared to come from a smaller group.

Around 80 people, including four on Friday night, had been arrested and more than 100 injured since rapper Pablo Hasél earlier this week was arrested and began to serve a 9-month prison sentence after his conviction for insulting the Spanish monarchy and praising terrorist violence.

Many people, including artists, celebrities and politicians, have expressed support for a change in the country's so-called "Gag Law" covering freedom of expression.

The government unexpectedly announced last week that it would change the law to scrap prison terms for offences involving freedom of expression. It did not specifically mention Hasél or set a timetable for the changes.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has criticized the violence as "inadmissible," in comments that accentuated a rift with his coalition government's junior partner.

SHOCK OVER MUSLIM BAN EXPRESSED ON SAG RED CARPET

Actors expressed shock over the travel ban President Trump signed over the weekend that restricts entry from seven Muslim countries.

The actors were walking the red carpet Sunday (29 JAN. 2017) before the Screen Actors Guild awards in Los Angeles.

Lifetime Achievement award winner Lily Tomlin was perplexed by how quickly President Trump has signed executive orders.

"I don't know what we can expect! I mean in 10 days this has been like mind-boggling. We just got to hold fast. We've got so much to stand up to, stand up against. We've got to express ourselves and be forceful and vigilant and we have to be strong, we have to. In this nine or 10 days, however long it's been and the doomsday clock has moved up to 2 1/2 minutes. The last time I did a television special 'Lily for President,' Edith Ann was the secretary of the future and the clock was like about 10 minutes to midnight. But now it's closer than it's been in 65 years," Tomlin said.

Nominated actor Dev Patel feels for the victims of the ban.

"I just flew in from India like two days ago and to receive bad news, I mean it's truly heartbreaking. I mean the first image that went through my head was just these women and children turning up to these shores with hope in their hearts and dreams in their minds and just being turned away. It's just horrible. You know it's really sad that the voice of divisiveness you know can prevail over the one of unity. So I hope, I'm glad that there's people on the streets with courage to be out there expressing love, you know," Patel said.

Six-time Tony-winning actress Audra McDonald seemed a little more optimistic.

"You know, well I mean, it feels odd to be here and to be on the red carpet when you've got such things going on. But there's a part of me that keeps thinking, you know, art keeps us connected to our humanity. So in a way it's necessary to continue to make sure that art is out there because it will hopefully keep us you know more connected in a way that we need to be so we can empathize and sympathize' s and do it we can to help," McDonald said.

Actor Matthew Modine expressed how the controversy has brought Americans together.

"You know what? I don't think he knew that he would inadvertently show how great American democracy is. That those people in all those airports across the United States and all those wonderful women that came out to March are demonstrating their First Amendment rights and showing how great this country is and how wonderful democracy is. We got to tip our hat to Donald Trump for making America great again. He said he bring us together," Modine said.

"Orange is the New Black" star Lea DeLaria spoke of Iranian director Asghar Farhadi. Since he comes from a banned country, he may not be able to attend the Oscars.

"Well, of course he would boycott the Academy (Awards)! He can't get in the country anyways so of course he's going to! Yeah, anyway, of course he's going to boycott the Academy Awards. That's all. I'm just gonna say everyone knows where I stand about this. It's almost redundant for me to talk about it. We have an idiot that is the president of the United States and I do not stand behind this idiot. In fact, in fact, I just want to say Melania, honest, as a feminist I'm worried about you and just give me a sign if you need me to rescue you," DeLaria said.

"Transparent" actor Jeffrey Tambor feels that actors have a duty to speak up.

"It's terrible. I can't think of a better time, any more auspicious time for us to be actors and get the message out. It's a hard time. You keep looking at me. It's a very interesting time. On the other hand, last week we had the march on Washington, the Women's March. It was one of the most beautiful times. So we're gonna live on both sides of the aisle a little bit right now," Tambor said.

Hundreds of supporters of Julian Assange marched through London on Saturday to pressure the U.K. government into refusing to extradite the WikiLeaks founder to the United States to face spying charges.

Famous Britons, including Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters, Pretenders singer Chrissie Hynde and fashion designer Vivienne Westwood joined the crowd protesting the U.S. espionage charges against the founder of the secret-spilling website.

An extradition hearing for Assange is due to begin in a London court on Monday.

WikiLeaks spokesman Kristinn Hrafnsson told a rally outside Parliament that the prosecution of Assange "represented an attack on journalism in general."

U.S. prosecutors have charged the 48-year-old Australian computer expert with espionage over WikiLeaks' publication of hundreds of thousands of confidential government documents.

If found guilty, he could be sentenced to up to 175 years in prison.

American authorities say Assange conspired with U.S. Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning to hack into a Pentagon computer and release secret diplomatic cables and military files on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Assange argues he acted as a journalist and is therefore entitled to First Amendment protection

He also maintains the documents exposed wrongdoing and protected many people.

Civil liberties groups and journalism organizations, including Amnesty International and Reporters Without Borders, have urged the U.S. to drop the charges, saying they set a chilling precedent for freedom of the press.

DIANA CRASH PICTURES CAUSE GRIEF AND ANGER

The UK's Princes William and Harry on Friday revealed their deep sadness today following the publication of a photo of their mother Diana, Princess of Wales taken moments after the car crash which killed her.

The Royal princes issued a statement strongly criticising the decision to use the image in an Italian magazine.

They said they were "deeply saddened that such a low has been reached" and added that they would have been failing in their duty to her now if they did not make moves to protect her as she once did for them.

The decision to publish the photo set off anger across Britain with tabloid newspapers leading the protests against the image.

The black-and-white photo in Milan-based Chi magazine showed the princess receiving oxygen in the wreckage of the car crash that killed her on August 31, 1997.

The picture was excerpted from "Lady Diana: The Criminal Investigation," a new book by French author Jean-Michel Caradec'h.

"Shame on you," chided The Sun, a British tabloid.

The Daily Express called the image "grotesque" and swore not to reprint it.

The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund said the photos were in poor taste.

The feeling was echoed by tourists in Rome.

"I think it's horrible, awful. They should just leave her be now. She has been dead for ten years, hasn't she?" said one lady visiting Rome.

UK tourists Mark and Laura agreed, saying," She's died, it's not going to help anybody at all."

However a Canadian tourist felt differently saying, "It's good to have a free press and she was a public figure. I think the people that think it's disgusting, they shouldn't buy the magazine."

Entrepreneur Mohamed al Fayed, whose son Dodi also died in the crash, called the publication "vile."

The magazine's editor Umberto Brindani, defended his action, saying that the photograph was "touching" and "tender," but not offensive.

The Princess of Wales died in a car accident in Paris on 31 August 1997.

Diana, 36, her companion Dodi Fayed, 42, and their driver, Henri Paul, were killed when the car crashed into a pillar in an underpass.

STORYLINE

Tens of thousands of people converged in the heart of Cairo on Tuesday, responding to a call for a million Egyptians to unite in the largest protest in a week of unceasing demands for President Hosni Mubarak to leave after nearly 30 years in power.

A stream of protesters arrived in Tahrir, or Liberation, Square at checkpoints guarded by protesters and the army, which promised on Monday night that it would not fire on protesters.

The announcement was a sign that army support for Mubarak may be unravelling as momentum builds for an extraordinary eruption of discontent and demands for democracy in the United States' most important Arab ally.

The loosely organised and disparate movement to drive Mubarak out is fuelled by deep frustration with an autocratic regime blamed for ignoring the needs of the poor and allowing corruption and official abuse to run rampant.

After years of tight state control, protesters emboldened by the overthrow of Tunisia's president last month took to the streets on January 25 and mounted a relentless and once unimaginable series of protests across this nation of 80 (m) million people, the region's most populous country and the centre of Arabic-language film-making, music and literature.

Egypt's most famous actor Omar Sharif said he was astounded by the protests and added that he was "proud" of the young Egyptians.

"I did not expect ever that somebody was going to come and say to our president to leave or to not be there. So it was a bit of a shock at the beginning at then now I think it's a good thing," he said.

Soviet-era and newer US-made Abrams tanks stood at the roads leading into Tahrir Square.

For days, army tanks and troops have surrounded the square, keeping the protests confined but doing nothing to stop people from joining.

The guns of many of the tanks pointed out from the square.

Military spokesman Ismail Etman said the military "has not and will not use force against the public" and underlined that "the freedom of peaceful expression is guaranteed for everyone."

He added the caveats that protesters should not commit "any act that destabilises security of the country" or damage property.

The protests appeared to be better organised on Tuesday.

Volunteers wearing tags reading "Security of the People", searched those who entered the square.

They said they were watching for government infiltrators or fugitive prisoners who might try to instigate violence.

Authorities shut down all roads and public transportation to Cairo, security officials said.

The protesters, and the Obama administration, roundly rejected Mubarak's announcement of a new government on Monday that dropped his highly unpopular interior minister, who heads police forces and has been widely denounced by the protesters.

Stuffed dummies representing Mubarak were hung from traffic lights at Tahrir Square.

On their chests was written: "We want to put the murderous president on trial."
