ANTI-WAR protesters including veteran actor David Hayman demanded the withdrawal of British troops from Afghanistan yesterday but were moved on from demonstrating outside the US consulate in Edinburgh.

The Brown government has ruled out a public inquiry into fresh allegations of abuse by British soldiers in Iraq: here.
