Protesters clash with police as German hard-right party AfD sets up new wing

Germany's hard-right AfD party launched its new youth organisation on Saturday as thousands of furious protesters descended on the western city of Giessen, where the group held its founding convention. The meeting began more than two hours late after activists blocked or attempted to block roads into the city, delaying the arrival of many delegates.Dramatic images show protesters clashing with police, who were forced to use pepper spray after stones were thrown at officers in one location, authorities said.
