US flags burned as Trump becomes 45th president of the US

While protests took a chaotic turn in Washington with shop front being smashed and cars vandalised, in Southeast Asia protests were similarly furious.

Outside the US embassy in Manila protestors set fire to flags and shouted angrily while billionaire businessmen Donald Trump was preparing for his inauguration ceremony the US.

At a time the the world is focused on America and its overseas actions – Filipino people called for an end to American troops in the country, demanding President Rodrigo Duterte keeps his promise of charting a foreign policy independent of the US.

More than 200 activists gathered at the embassy.

The country's leader Rodrigo Duterte has spoken with Mr Trump who reportedly praised his ongoing war on drugs despite the deaths of thousands of people – many whose families claim they were massacred without trial.

Mr Duterte offended Americans in 2016 when he called Barack Obama the “son of a whore” after the US leader criticisedhuman rights abuses and has sent his national security adviser and press secretary to attend the new President’s inauguration.

Protest leader Renato Reyes, of the left-wing Bayan group said: “Obama sugar-coated imperialism but Trump has shown an in-your-face kind of imperialism.

He said Mr Duterte “should stick to his independent foreign policy”.

Meanwhile in Tokyo hundreds of protesters, most of them expatriate Americans, held an anti-Trump protest on Friday.

In London, a banner appeared on Tower Bridge, reading: “Act now! Build bridges not walls”.

Mr Trump has also caused fury among Palestinians after he spoke out against a UN Security Council resolution condemning Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

In the city of Nablus on Thursday protests were held, while more Palestinians protested near the West Bank settlement of Maale Adumim on Friday.

Protests began in Washington on Thursday evening as thousands gathered outside a black tie event on the eve of the inauguration.
