| Video Discription | 00:00 Protest organiser John Rees, speaks to Natasha Devon. 05:30 Adil calls the programme to describe his experience on the marches. A dozen people were arrested at a pro-Palestine march in central London as thousands took to the streets to call for a ceasefire in Gaza. The protest was part of a 'global day of action,' organised in part by the Stop The War campaign. Spokesman for that campaign, John Rees, tells Natasha Devon he's disappointed with press coverage focusing on arrests, when 'a similar number are arrested on Tottenham Court Road every Saturday for shoplifting.' The arrests in Hyde Park on Saturday afternoon were made in connection with a string of alleged offences - including alleged racial hatred, suspicion of supporting a proscribed organisation, and assaulting emergency workers. One man was arrested after he was allegedly seen on the march holding an anti-Semitic placard, police said. It comes as around 30,000 people took to the streets to demonstrate this afternoon, police said - adding that the "overwhelming majority" of people who took part were peaceful and acted lawfully. Demonstrators chanted "casefire now" and "free Palestine" as they held banners on the march towards a designated area near the Israeli embassy.
