Hundreds join city anti-war demo

Hundreds of anti-war demonstrators have taken to the streets of Brighton in a May Day protest.
The march is a larger version of a demonstration that is regularly staged against weapons manufacturer, EDO MBM Technology, which is based in the city.
The event has been organised by a group, Smash EDO, which has been campaigning to close the factory for the past five years.
The weapons manufacturer has never commented on the protests.

Smash EDO estimated about 1,000 protesters had gathered on Monday, but Sussex Police said it was about 500.
A Sussex Police spokeswoman said three police officers had suffered minor „push and shove“ type injuries, such as twists and sprains.
One person has been arrested at the protest, but it was not yet known what for, she added.
Loud speakers
Some demonstrators climbed scaffolding and unfurled a banner on top of a branch of Barclays.
Earlier, protesters held a street party in front of the Palace Pier where they danced to music and held banners bearing anti-war slogans.
Jane Blackson, 30, who took her daughter, Lala, four, to the protest said: „I think it’s important that we tell our children what is going on, that there are kids in other countries that are being bombed.“
Protesters then marched through the main shopping streets shouting over loud speakers and headed for the factory to the north of the city.
Piano teacher Sarah Nunn, 44, from Chichester, said she regularly attended anti-war protests.
She said: „We really want to raise awareness of the fact EDO is based in the city which a lot of people have no idea about.“
