Protesters force halt to Berlin Wall demolition

Hundreds of protesters have forced construction crews to stop work on removing a small section from one of the few remaining stretches of the Berlin Wall to make way for a luxury flats project.

Crews were only able to remove one section from the famous East Side Gallery before about 300 protesters pressed too close for the work to continue. Demonstrators then wheeled in a mock wall section they had set up in front of the gap.
