At least eight killed as protesters clash with police in Kenya

At least eight people have been killed and 400 injured as thousands took to the streets in a day of protests across Kenya against President William Ruto's government. 
 
Police clashed with protesters in the capital Nairobi and other cities, exactly a year on from the wave of deadly anti-government demonstrations that hit the nation in 2024. 
 
Many of those demonstrating chanted "Ruto must go" and waved branches as a symbol of peaceful opposition to his rule.
 
The government banned live TV and radio coverage of the protests, but its decree was overturned by the High Court in the capital, Nairobi.
