Londonderry: Video shows petrol bombs thrown at police van

Young masked men threw petrol bombs at police in Derry on the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Good Friday Agreement, which largely ended three decades of sectarian violence.

It was during an illegal republican parade taking place in the city on Monday. Police have described the attack on officers as "senseless and reckless".
