Bahrain unrest: Protesters reoccupy Pearl Square
Thousands of anti-government protesters in Bahrain have resumed an occupation of Pearl Square, the focal point of protests in the capital Manama.
Jubilant protesters returned after riot police fired tear gas and shotgun rounds before withdrawing. Reports say some 60 people may have been injured.
The army, which guarded the square after using deadly force to clear it on Thursday, was earlier ordered out.
