TRANSCRIPT
Protests by opposing activist groups in Australia's capital cities, have passed largely without incident or major injury due to a heavy police presence.
Officers in Melbourne were forced to intervene with capsicum spray to stop rival protesters clashing near Parliament House, and one man was arrested for criminal grafitti damage.
Victoria Police estimate about 2,500 people attended various rallies - some led by the Indigenous sovereignty movement and others organised by March for Australia .
In Sydney, an estimated 3,000 people turned out for an Australia Unites rally, calling for an overhaul of government.
Up to 1,000 people attended rallies for Indigenous Sovereignty and anti-racism.
Dunghutti man Paul Silva, who has been campaigning for an end to Indigenous deaths in custody, was among them.
"Especially after an event that tried to scrutinise mass immigration, what we did see is the group attacked the only people who are not immigrants of this land. So what that shows is a plain and simple and exposure for what that group is really about. And it about spreading hate, division and racism within society. And that is why we have come out here today. To say no room for racism, no room for white supremacy, on our lands, and in society."
In Perth, a minute's silence was held for Charlie Kirk, the US conservative political activist who was fatally shot earlier this week.
.
Clashes have erupted in central London as more than 100,000 people turned out for a rally organised by far-right activist Tommy Robinson.
Many demonstrators draped themselves in English and British flags for what Mr Robinson branded the country's "biggest free speech festival".
He says the far-right movement is gaining strength.
"They have underestimated us for so long. And time and time again, every time they think they beat us down, we come back stronger. Look at these crowds, man! (cheers). 'You are here because you love your country, you love your children. And we want a better future. A safe future for them."
Meanwhile, around 5,000 people turned out at a Stand Up to Racism march starting around one mile north of the larger rally near Westminster.
Roughly 1,000 police were deployed to keep the rival groups separate, with nine arrests made.

Conservative political activist Charlie Kirk has been remembered as someone who spoke out without fear at a candlelight vigil in Utah.
The 31-year-old was shot dead during a university campus event attended by some 3,000 people.
Police have apprehended a suspect, 22 year-old Tyler Robinson, who they say confided to his father about his role in the shooting.
Mr Kirk rose to prominence with inflammatory rhetoric often focused on race, gender and immigration.
Student Alexis Breuer says Mr Kirk inspired people who hold similar beliefs.
"I think that Charlie came around at a point in time when a lot of us were afraid to voice our beliefs, were afraid of the backlash from our peers. And he was an example to the rest of us. Someone else that was in our age range that understood the generation that we were in. And he was an example to us that we don't have to be afraid. We can stand up for our beliefs eloquently and peacefully, without fear."

Both opponents and supporters of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro have taken to the streets, following a Supreme Court ruling that sentenced him to 27 years in prison.
Mr Bolsonaro was convicted of attempting a military coup after losing the presidential election.
Opponents, organised by left wing political and grassroots movements, celebrated in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro with street parties, live music and dancing.
Protester Ricardo Luz says the sentence is a victory against extremism.
(Portuguese* then translated into English): "Even those who defend a decent right-wing should take to the streets to celebrate. After all, we're consigning the far right to the dustbin of history, from where they should never have left."
In Brasilia, a group of supporters held a vigil outside Mr Bolsonaro's home, where he is currently under house arrest.
The 70-year-old, who has always denied any wrongdoing, can try to appeal the ruling.

And in tennis,
Australia is on the brink of elimination from the Davis Cup, after Alex De Minaur suffered a shock defeat in Sydney [[Saturday 13 Sept]]
The US Open quarter-finalist was upset by 81-seed Belgian Raphael Collignon [[collin-yon]] in three sets during a match that lasted more than three hours.
It means Australia will need to win both the doubles and reverse singles rubbers tomorrow to qualify for the finals in November.
