Fresh protests have broken out in China over its Covid restrictions, after an apartment block fire killed 10 people in the city of Urumqi.
Authorities have denied that strict Covid rules prevented residents from escaping the fire, which has seemingly sparked further unrest in the country.
Footage shared on Chinese social media appeared to show demonstrators confronting officials, breaking down barriers, and shouting "end the Covid lockdown".
Beijing continues to pursue a zero-Covid policy, despite record infection numbers and growing public anger.
The western Xinjiang region, including its capital Urumqi, has been under restrictions since early August.

The UN Emissions Gap report indicates that if only “current policies” are implemented the world could warm by up to 3.1C.
This would be “catastrophic” for the world according to the UN, leading to dramatic increases in extreme weather events including heatwaves and floods.
The UN's predictions of temperature rise have stayed essentially the same over the past three years since countries met in Glasgow for the COP26 climate summit.

,1,Tech billionaire Elon Musk has predicted that artificial intelligence (AI) will eventually mean that no-one will have to work.
He was speaking to UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak during an unusual "in conversation" event at the end of this week's summit on AI at Bletchley Park, in England.
The 50-minute interview included a prediction by Mr Musk that the tech will make paid work redundant.
This comes as around 100 world leaders, tech bosses and academics are gathering there over the next two days to discuss how best to maximise the benefits of artificial intelligence - while minimising the risks.

,1,Elon Musk says artificial intelligence is "one of the existential risks we face as world leaders attend a AI safety summit in the UK.
About 100 world leaders, tech bosses and academics are gathering there over the next two days to discuss how best to maximise the benefits of artificial intelligence - while minimising the risks.
Others have warned against speculating about unlikely future threats and said the world should instead focus on the potential present-day risks AI poses, such as replacing some jobs and entrenching bias.

,1,Russian missiles have hit Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, following two nights of heavy drone strikes.
They were all reportedly shot down and there are no reports of casualties.
Flaming debris from the intercepted missiles landed in residential areas in central Kyiv.
Russia has launched 16 air attacks on the Ukrainian capital this month. The latest, however, was unusual because it took place during the day - and seemed to be targeted at the city centre.
All other air assaults on the capital so far in May have taken place at night and appeared to be directed at critical national infrastructure and air defences on the outskirts.

,1,The world's most famous shipwreck has been revealed as never seen before.
The first full-sized digital scan of the Titanic, which lies 3,800m (12,500ft) down in the Atlantic, has been created using deep-sea mapping.
It provides a unique 3D view of the entire ship, enabling it to be seen as if the wayer has been drained.
The hope is that this will shed new light on exactly what happened to the liner, which sank in 1912 - killing 1,500 people.
