Running battles have erupted and a hotel has been set ablaze after thousands of protesters clashed with police near the Nato summit being held in Strasbourg.Riot police used water cannons and teargas after about 10,000 people turned out for demonstrations in the French city on Saturday.A group of about 1,000 "particularly violent" rioters, some black-clad and masked, led the clashes, lobbing petrol bombs, burning tires, smashing windows and ransacking shops on the second day of the summit, police said.Protestors were being contained around the Europe Bridge to prevent them spreading through the city, a statement from the regional prefecture said.
