Anti-Trump
About 2,000 people have been marching through the New York borough of Manhattan in the latest protest at the election of Donald Trump.

They shouted “not my president” and brandished placards as they headed for Trump Tower, the skyscraper where the president-elect lives.
The Republican defeated the Democrats’ Hillary Clinton in Tuesday’s election, and will take office in January.
It was a shock result after opinion polls tipped Mrs Clinton for victory.
American cities have seen nightly protests by activists furious at the property tycoon’s controversial policies.
Trump seems to be rowing back on some of his campaign pledges, saying he is open to leaving intact key parts of President Barack Obama’s healthcare law, dubbed “Obamacare”.
Asked whether he would implement a campaign promise to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Mrs Clinton over her use of a private email server while secretary of state, he listed healthcare, jobs, border control and tax reform as greater priorities.
The New York marchers rallied in Union Square Park for the march to Trump Tower, from which the next president has been planning the transition ton his inauguration on 20 January.
One organiser of the New York protest, Kenneth Shelton, told the BBC that it was not an attempt to challenge the legitimacy of Tuesday’s election. “We lost,” he admitted.
Placards at the demonstration express despair and anger, the BBC’s Paul Adams says.
One read “Trump: An American Tragedy” while the message on another read “Now We’re Your Nightmare”.
“We must unite despite our differences to stop HATE from ruling the land,” organisers of the New York protest wrote on Facebook. Demonstrations in the city earlier this week drew thousands of people.
Demonstrations are also scheduled for Saturday in Los Angeles and Chicago. Earlier demonstrations in Portland, Oregon, turned violent and one person was shot but most rallies have passed off peacefully.
Thousands of demonstrators gathered on Thursday and Friday in the centre of Portland.
Some protesters smashed shop and car windows, threw firecrackers and set rubbish alight. Objects were thrown at the police, who responded with pepper spray and rubber baton rounds. Police declared a riot and made 26 arrests.
One man was shot on Friday. Police said he was taking part in a march across a bridge in the city. His injuries were not life-threatening, but his attacker is still at large.
