Within the heavy riots in the night from 1st of May to 2nd in Berlin-Mitte- 
Prenzlauer Berg more than 200 people have been imprisoned. Another 200  
people were targets of temporary detentions. Until now it is not known how  
many people are still in jail nor how many demonstrants have been injured  
(must be a lot!). Officially 17 policemen were injured. Several shops were  
plundered and there were barricades and burning containers.

Radionews at 2 o'clock in the afternoon:

About 6.000 Nazis are demonstration at the "Voelkerschlacht"-monument in
Leipzig. more than 6.500 policemen  from different federal states of
Germoney protect the meeting against the some thousands left demonstrants.
Several hundred joung left demonstrants clashed with the police forces.
Stones have been thrown and police has beaten up the crowd.

Radionews at 3 o'clock in the afternoon:

Left demonstrants shall be around 5.000 people. On both sides injured.
Around 30 people have been taken prisoner by the police. There were also
attacks between Nazis and police.

Berlin, 1st of May, midnight:

                        there are still riots in the streets of Berlin- 
Prenzlauer Berg after the Autonome Revolutionary May Demo. The first  
(dogmatical left) demonstration at 13 o'clock ended peacefully. In the  
afternoon there were different festivals with bands on Berlin Places by  
sunny weather.
                        Seven returning buses with antifascist  
demonstrants from Leipzig have been stopped by the police at the city  
border. The people have been taken prisoner to prevent them to riot in the  
evening demonstration, because there were heavy fights between police and  
demnonstrants at Leipzig.

Live Report from the "Voelkerschlachtdenkmal" 3.15 a.m.:

There shall have been "only" 3.000 Nazi demonstrants. The "show" is out  
now at this place: only the left are still attacked by the police and  
there are lots of partly heavily injured. Also the Nazi attacked several  
left demonstrants. The 3.000 Nazis went in a kind of demonstration  
together with waving flags to their busses to disappear - and to appear  
... where???
