Riot police set up a blockade at the border village of Kastanies, where several hundred protesters burned a European Union flag and chanted "open the borders". The protesters from Athens and elsewhere in Greece are demonstrating for a second day in the border region, in the wake of more deadly migrant boat sinkings in the eastern Aegean Sea. They are demanding that Greece ease transit restrictions at the border, where access is blocked by a 10.5-kilometre (six-and-half mile) fence. =========================================================== Clients are reminded: (i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and that further advice and assistance can be obtained from the AP Archive on: Tel +44 (0) 20 7482 7482 Email: [email protected] (ii) they should check with the applicable collecting society in their Territory regarding the clearance of any sound recording or performance included within the AP Television News service (iii) they have editorial responsibility for the use of all and any content included within the AP Television News service and for libel, privacy, compliance and third party rights applicable to their Territory.
