Clashes have broken out between police and protesters in Athens as the city marks the first anniversary of the fatal police shooting of a teenager.

Riot police fired tear gas at demonstrators as they marched. People were throwing rocks at police, and rubbish bins were set on fire.The protests are nothing like the riotous scenes of last year, a BBC correspondent says. But aggressive tactics have not endeared police to protesters, he adds. The streets of Athens are filling up with young people dressed in anarchist black as they mark the first anniversary of what for them was a major uprising. Squads of police in riot gear, who after the shooting last year, were regarded as the enemy of youth, are stationed on every street corner. Business along the planned route of the big demonstration have pulled down the steel shutters.
