Bikers protest over fuel prices

More fuel protests are spreading throughout Europe, this time in the British city of Manchester.
Hundreds of motorbike riders protesting against high fuel prices have caused delays on motorways outside Manchester.
The "slow" protest, which includes some taxis and lorries, left Birch services just after 0800 BST on junction 18 of the M62, to head into the city centre.
Police used rolling-roadblocks to keep disruption to a minimum, but traffic backed up behind the convoy on the M60.
More 500 bikers on M602 and were greeted by applauding onlookers as they made their way through Salford.
The protest is understood to be led by two motorcycling fuel protesters, known only as Maverick and Triumph Man.
