Italy: Police unleash water cannons on rioting migrants in Rome

Clashes erupted between security forces and migrants at the Independence Square in Rome in the early hours of Thursday, as the migrants protested against the eviction of hundreds of people from an occupied building facing the square.

Police deployed water cannons and charged against the rioting migrants, who responded by throwing objects at officers and blocking the nearby streets.
