The Nato summit in France has been marred by protests -- anti-Nato protesters set fire to two hotels and clashed with police in the city of Strasbourg where the meeting is being held.

Sky's Europe Correspondent Alex Rossi is there - in his business suit.

1. Nato promoters

No doubt the Nato apologists will be making capital out of the N Korean rocket:

2. They don't look like protesters to me. They are the infamous "black block".

The black block (named after the black jackets and masks) regularly shows up at big demonstrations, where clashes with police are likely.

They don't care about politics, pro or contra NATO. They are just there for the thrill of a fight.
