Subscribe to our channel! rupt.ly/subscribe
Members of the far-right Loyalist National Defence League (NDL) attempted to disrupt a Bloody Sunday memorial march in Glasgow on Saturday.
Police attempted to keep the two groups apart as rival protesters hurled abuse at each other as the parade took place. The march was temporarily halted several times after protesters blocked the parade route. One man was seen being detained by police, who said two people were arrested in total.
The parade was organised by a group remembering the 13 people who were shot dead by the British military in the Northern Ireland town of Derry during a protest march on January 30, in 1972.

UK: Derry marches as 'Soldier F' charged with Bloody Sunday murders
Subscribe to our channel! rupt.ly/subscribe
A British army veteran known as 'Soldier F' was charged in Derry on Thursday with two murders after opening fire on civil rights protesters in Northern Ireland in 1972, an event known as Bloody Sunday.
He is also facing four attempted murder charges.
Footage shows families of the victims of Bloody Sunday marching with photos of their deceased loved ones, calling for justice.
“The total cost of Bloody Sunday cannot be measured just in terms of those who suffered that day, but must also be measured in terms of those who suffered because of that terrible day,” said John Kelly, the brother of one of the victims.
The events of Bloody Sunday took place on January 30, 1972 in Derry, when British soldiers, including 'Soldier F', killed 14 unarmed civilians.
Only 'Soldier F' has been charged, however, while 16 other former paratroopers and two former members of the IRA will face no action.

UK: LONDON: 27TH ANNIVERSARY OF BLOODY SUNDAY MARCH
English/Nat
Campaigners marched through the British capital, London, on Saturday to mark the 27th anniversary of Bloody Sunday.
They were urging the British government to give a full explanation of the circumstances surrounding the death of 13 civil rights marchers in a confrontation with soldiers in Northern Ireland on January 30, 1972.
The men were shot by British troops who have always claimed they came under fire from terrorists belonging to the Irish Republican Army.
After 27 years many Irish and British people are still unsatisfied with the explanations given for the deaths of 13 people in Londonderry after a civil rights march.
They were shot by members of the British Parachute Regiment.
The soldiers claimed they came under fire from gunmen from the nationalist Irish Republican Army.
But subsequent enquiries showed none of the men to be armed and it is doubtful any of them even belonged to the I-R-A.
On Saturday a member of the political party allied to the I-R-A, Sinn Fein, said the victims' families still want a full and frank explanation of how their loved ones died.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
I think in the situation we are in, at this moment in time, of conflict resolution its very important that people who lost their loved ones find out the truth and that their loved ones are vindicated because as everyone knows they were perfectly innocent people on a civil rights march at that time who were brutally cut down by the parachute regiment. So it's very important for people to find out the truth.
SUPER CAPTION: Gerry Kelly, Sinn Fein
The son of one of those killed said the marchers were also concerned about the present situation in Ireland.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
This march, this demonstration is primarily an opportunity for the Irish people in London and the supporters of human rights and democracy in Ireland who live in London to express their concern at the ongoing situation in Ireland.
SUPER CAPTION: Tony Docherty, Bloody Sunday Justice Campaign
Many feel there can be no solid and lasting peace in Northern Ireland until the real story of what happened on the streets of Londonderry 27 years ago is known.

UK: LONDON: MARCH MARKS 26TH ANNIVERSARY OF 'BLOODY SUNDAY'
English/Nat
About two-thousand people marched through London on Saturday to mark the 26th anniversary of Bloody Sunday.
At the end of a protest march in Londonderry on 30 January 1972, 13 Roman Catholics were shot dead - a watershed event in the Northern Ireland conflict that became known as Bloody Sunday.
Campaigners hope that the British government will now order an inquiry into the affair - with some hoping for a public apology from UK Prime Minister Tony Blair.
About two-thousand protesters gathered for a march on Saturday to mark the 26th anniversary of a grim event in Northern Ireland's bloody sectarian conflict.
The marchers also took to the streets with high hopes that the British government might reopen the inquiry into what happened on the day now known as Bloody Sunday
In the Northern Ireland city of Londonderry on 30 January 1972 a protest march ended in bloodshed when 13 Catholics were shot dead.
The day marked a watershed event in the Northern Ireland conflict - one that radicalised hundreds of Catholic youths to move from street
protests into the ranks of the Irish Republican Army (I-R-A).
The 13 deaths and the exoneration of the British paratroopers involved has been one of the main issues in the whole tragic event.
Civilian witnesses are unanimous that the soldiers fired deliberately at an unarmed and panicked crowd, who were marching in their thousands against the British government's policy of interning I-R-A suspects without trial.
But the English judge who investigated the event concluded that while some soldiers' shooting bordered on the reckless, the I-R-A fired first and some of those slain were probably handling weapons, even though the troops recovered none.
The spotlight placed so squarely on Bloody Sunday offends many
Protestant politicians.
They note that the I-R-A has killed more than five times as many people as the British army and police combined, often with impunity.
Others in Britain also showed their anger during the march on Saturday.
As protestors marched through London's streets, members of the National Front organisation held up British flags and shouted in opposition to the marchers.
The main focus of the march, however, was directed towards whether the British government will bow to pressure and issue and apology.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
I don't think we can trade or negotiate apologies. What we are asking for here, on behalf of the families, is an apology from the British State. The cease-fire by both the Loyalist and Republican armed forces is obviously very, very welcome indeed, and that's a good thing and hopefully remorse and regret will follow. But I think we shouldn't really get in the business of negotiating between one group and the other. The issue here is what the British army did, the issue here is an apology and that is what we are asking for.
SUPER CAPTION: Jeremy Corbyn, Member of Parliament
Relatives of the victims just want to know what really happened.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
Well I think in any conflict the truth can't hurt anybody and it's only when the truth comes out that all the pain can start to heal and I think that's why the truth has to be told, to help the healing.
SUPER CAPTION: Joe McKinney, Bloody Sunday Justice Campaign
Catholic activists have compiled a catalog of oral testimony from witnesses, backed up by audio and film records.
They allege this evidence shows that British Army snipers were also involved in the shootings - not just the troops on the ground.

Derry 1916 Commemoration Committee
The following statement has been forwarded to Junior McDaid House by the Derry 1916 Commemoration Committee.
“The Derry 1916 Commemoration Committee are calling on the support of the Republican family for our annual Easter Monday Commemoration.
Lately we have been delivered certain ultimatums regarding our Commemoration; we reject these totally.
Republicans have always honoured the patriots of 1916 along with every patriot who has fallen since. We want a dignified procession and we call on community leaders to ensure that British Crown Forces exercise common sense.
This is a Republican Commemoration in the middle of Creggan, a community that has stood tall throughout this ongoing struggle, a community that has earned the respect of Irish Republicans the world over. If British Crown Forces saturate and hem in this community with armoured jeeps and armed British terrorists then the blame for any acts of resistance rests with them alone.
The Republican community will defend the people and defend the people’s right to march in an honourable and dignified manner to commemorate our Republican dead.
Signed Derry 1916 Commemoration Committee.

Irish Murals Mark The Troubles in Bogside Derry/Londonderry - The Bogside Murals - History Tour
A walking tour of the Derry/Londonderry murals. Many found in the Bogside part of Derry - political murals marking many key events in the city's history including Bloody Sunday.
A haunting reminder to the times not that long ago that the people of Northern Ireland suffered due to the Troubles. It is well worthwhile for any tourist to take a tour in these areas with a local and hear first hand the events that consumed everyday life in Northern Ireland.
Bogside is a neighborhood outside the city of walls of Derry in county Londonderry and this is where the different large-garble wall murals drawn by Bogside Artists, Free Derry Corner, and the Gasyard Feile (which is an annual music and arts festival held in a former gasyard). These different murals are considered a famous touristic attraction and that was the reason why we managed to visit this place and wander the streets looking for those art pieces.
Most of these different murals drawn on the walls of the streets are related to the period of The Troubles since this neighborhood has been the focal point of almost all the events of The Troubles. The Troubles was an ethno-nationalist conflict in Northern Ireland during the late 20th century which was also known as the Northern Ireland Conflict. This conflict was mainly political and nationalistic but sometimes it was fueled by some historical events along the way
With the effort exerted by Bogside Artists, there are now 12 large wall murals drawn on the street walls of this small neighborhood and which the last one of them was completed in 2008. With all these different drawings found on the walls, this place has been referred to as The People's Gallery and which include The Petrol Bomber, Bernadette, Bloody Sunday, Bloody Sunday Commemoration, Death of Innocence, Hunger Strike, Operation Motorman, The Saturday Matinee, Civil Rights, Peace Mural, The Runner, and A Tribute to John Hume. Every single one of these different murals is drawn for a reason and to tell a specific story about the history of Bogside when it comes to The Troubles time.
There are different drawings from these which might be related to the same incidence or event but which might be telling a different story; there was this one for example related to the Bloody Sunday incident of those 14 people killed during a civil rights demonstration, and there is also another one related to the same day but which is about the face or portraits of those different 14 people along with drawing a leaf around them; 14 leaves, each one to resemble one of those victims.
Walking through streets that carry these different pieces and murals of art will definitely let one wonder about those who have been behind such creativity and ideas. Bogside Artists is a trio of mural painters from Derry, Londonderry and who are Tom Kelly, William Kelly, and Kevin Hasson; they are those three painters who transformed the walls of Bogside to this beautiful scenery which we are exposed to and not just that, but they tend to deliver something of meaning, something related to the history of Derry.
Those murals drawn in the streets of Bogside neighborhood are the most famous work for Bogside Artists, and which is all about the sectarian violence and the civil rights protests during the time of The Troubles in Northern Ireland - and we have to say that we were more than excited while watching all these drawings and experiencing the art that these three artists managed to deliver.
If you already know about the history of the place and know what used to happen during the time of The Troubles then you could just head to Bogside and wander the streets there in Derry to experience those murals and know the stories they tend to deliver, but if you don't know much about this period of time then there are two different things to do: you will either have to read about this history in order to understand every single mural, or else walk the place with a guide or someone who knows about these things well enough.
The idea of street murals is always fascinating, you walk by one of them and you feel as if you have seen the most beautiful thing in the whole world. There are other murals in Northern Ireland which are also becoming famous such as the Peace Wall in Belfast ( the murals and artwork in the Cathedral Quarter in Belfast ( the Tall Ships mural in Belfast ( and also The Son of Protagoras Mural which is found in Belfast as well (
Walking by any of these different murals - or graffiti as they are referred to more - will also leave you stunned by the art you are seeing displayed on the street walls and that is exactly the same with Bogside in Derry.

Violence fears as Bloody Sunday memorial march in Glasgow to be met with loyalist protest
A loyalist group is set to protest an Irish Republican Bloody Sunday memorial march in Glasgow.
Members of the National Defence League are calling on all loyalists to demonstrate at the event, sharing posters of No IRA on our streets on social media.
Fears of violence have again surfaced in the city following heightened tensions at the end of the last marching season.
Around 200 members of Republican group West of Scotland Band Alliance are expected to parade through the city centre on Saturday morning.
The group, which describes itself as politically independent, is taking to the streets to highlight what happened on Bloody Sunday in Derry and continue to call for the prosecution of those responsible.
Bloody Sunday, or the Bogside Massacre, saw 14 unarmed civilians killed by British soldiers during a protest march on January 30, 1972.
Posters shared online by the National Defence League
The group will meet at Shamrock Street in Cowcaddens at around 11am before following the proposed route: Scott St, West Graham St, Cambridge St, Renfrew St, Renfield St, Jamaica St, Clyde St, Stockwell St, Trongate, Gallowgate, Sydney St.
A group of loyalist protesters are expected to meet the march in the city centre.
A Facebook event, set up by the National Defence League, says it is calling on all loyalists to be at Cambridge Street for their demonstration.
Posters of No IRA on our streets have been shared, similar to those which were posted ahead of riot-like scenes in Govan last August.
Tensions bowled over that night when loyalist groups protested an 'Irish Unity' march by the James Connelly Republican Flute Band through the area.
