LIVE UPDATES: Turkish police clamp down on anti-government protests

Turkish police have fired tear gas and water cannon to disperse a massive demonstration against the demolition of a park in central Istanbul. 

 
The rally grew into a wider anti-government protest and is spreading across the country. 

 
02:34 GMT: The photos show angry crowds in the streets of the Turkish capital, Ankara, overnight. Thousands rallied in the center of the city earlier on Friday chanting for the government to resign. 

Police fired tear gas to disperse several dozen opposition supporters trying to reach the AKP headquarters.

 When people have been pushed just a little too far!
