[quote=MARRIE,365541]Turkish riot police staged three charges against hundreds of demonstrators in the Sisli district of the city who had hurled rocks at security forces. At least eight were injured, including two police officers, NTV television said.

Rallies were held around the world, with organizers everywhere promising to highlight public anger over the crippling recession, which has seen millions lose their jobs.

In France, tens of thousands turned out across the country in a fresh show of force against President Nicolas Sarkozy's handling of the economic crisis, six weeks after as many as 3 million took to the streets.

In what unions predicted would be the biggest Labor Day turnout in decades, marchers paraded in the cities of Paris, Marseille, Bordeaux, Grenoble and elsewhere.

France's eight main trade unions have agreed to hold united rallies across the country - rather than hold rival May Day events - for the first time since the end of World War II.

In Spain, where the government expects nearly one in five workers to be out of a job next year, large crowds of demonstrators gathered in central Madrid, and in Austria, a large crowed gathered in front of Vienna city hall.
