Plumes of smoke rise over Hamburg on Friday. Photo: DPAAnti-capitalist protesters wreaked havoc Friday in the G20 summit's host city of Hamburg, torching cars, firing flares at police choppers and blocking US First Lady Melania Trump at her residence. Ahead of a planned concert this evening for G20 leaders and their spouses at the port city's new landmark Elbphilharmonie concert hall, protesters were concentrating their efforts at blocking access to the site. But they were thwarted by police who had water cannons at the ready, and first dignitaries were seen arriving at the site. But one 30-year-old self-described anarchist, refusing to give his name, was unapologetic as he helped dry off fellow protesters drenched by police water canons.
