| Thousands of opposition protesters in Belarus have tried to storm the government headquarters, following the country's presidential election.
The demonstrators smashed windows and the doors of the building in Minsk, but were later pushed back by riot police.
Four presidential candidates have been arrested. Another was injured in an earlier incident.
Incumbent Alexander Lukashenko is widely expected to win the poll, which the opposition claims has been rigged.
Exit polls suggest he is far ahead of his nearest rival in Sunday's vote, having secured more than 70% of the vote.
