National Guard and protestors clash in USA

For a third day demonstrators have clashed with law enforcement in Los Angeles over widenening immigration raids.

For a third day demonstrators have clashed with law enforcement in Los Angeles over widenening immigration raids. Some cars have been set alight and at one point demonstrators broke through police lines to block off a major freeway, the 101. We'll go live to the scene of the protests.

The Freedom Flotilla Coalition - a campaign group trying to reach Gaza amid Israel's aid blockade - say Israeli forces have boarded their flotilla ship and that connection with the 12 people on the ship has been lost. Israel says all on board are safe and the ship is being towed to Israel.

And hundreds of thousands of people who hoped to visit, study or work in the United States will now not be allowed to enter the country as from today. This follows a travel ban imposed on the citizens of these countries last week.
