    A number of people protesting over PSNI raids in the Derry area over the past number of days were involved in scuffles with police as the Olympic Torch made its way towards the Peace Bridge. The Olympic Torch bearers had to make a detour from their official path, jump over barriers which seperated the dual carriageway, clamber over a wall and make their way onto the Peace Bridge as scuffles broke out behind them.

    PS cut and paste.

    The word "Republican" was mentioned in the article. Is this a media beat up. Trying to make the protest look worse than it was?

    Actually quite the opposite. The media are trying to play down the issue and say it had nothing to do with the Olympic torch.

    Do the media really want peace? They seem to thrive on violence. It sells.
