Protesters take to the streets of Bahrain

Protesters have taken to the streets of Bahrain to demand the Government step down and the Formula One to be cancelled.

Protester Ahmed Madani said: "We are calling for the regime to fall, we can't live with this regime, they abused our youth, our honour, they destroyed our mosques.

"Our initial demands were to elect a new government but after the disgusting abuse we got, all the people are asking for is for the regime to fall."

The news agency Reuters reports that police fired tear gas and protesters used petrol bombs in clashes following the march.
