No Kings protests: Thousands across the US rally against Trump

Large protests against the Trump administration have taken place in cities across the US, marking the third iteration of No Kings rallies. Event organisers for Saturday's protests estimate more than 8 million people attended to protest policies imposed by US President Donald Trump, and things like the Iran war, immigration enforcement and the rising cost of living. "Trump wants to rule over us as a tyrant. But this is America, and power belongs to the people - not to wannabe kings or their billionaire cronies," organisers said. A White House spokesperson called the protests "Trump Derangement Therapy Sessions" and said the only people who care "are the reporters who are paid to cover them". The BBC is unable to verify attendance figures by organisers. Previous No Kings protests have similarly been estimated in the millions. Throughout the day on Saturday, demonstrations took place in nearly every major US city. Crowds also gathered in smaller cities and towns across the country - and also in areas outside the US, like Paris and London. Rallies took over the streets of downtown Washington DC throughout the afternoon, with throngs of people marching through the nation's capital. Prot
