The influential leader of the Lebanon-based Shia Muslim militant group, Hezbollah, has called for fresh protests over an anti-Islam film.

The world needed to know Muslims "would not be silent in the face of this insult", Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah said.

Protests at many US diplomatic missions have been continuing over the amateur video, which was produced in the US.

Hundreds of protesters in Indonesia's capital faced off with police, throwing stones and petrol bombs.

They burned the American flag and chanted anti-US slogans during the demonstration in Jakarta.

Police fired tear gas and made a number of arrests in response. One police officer was taken to hospital after being hit by a stone.
