Fresh riots hit Greek capital

Hundreds of youths have once more brought parts of central Athens to a standstill amid violent clashes with riot police which lasted into the night.

Demonstrators charged at riot police outside parliament, throwing fire bombs. Police responded with volleys of tear gas.

It comes 12 days after the fatal shooting of a teenager by police.
