HAMBURG: Demonstrations turned violent late Thursday ahead of a tricky first G20 summit for US President Donald Trump, as German police clashed with a hard core of masked anti-capitalist activists hurling bottles and stones. A holding centre for detainees has been set up in a former hardware store with space for 400 people. In Hamburg, some 30 demonstrations have been announced, organized by anti-globalization activists and environmentalists, trade unions, students and Church groups. Speaking in the Polish capital earlier on Thursday in front of 10,000 people, Trump didn’t mince his words about Moscow. Trump held a dinner with leaders of South Korea and Japan, focusing on North Korea’s successfully test of an intercontinental ballistic missile this week.
