Pope arrival in Madrid greeted by protests

Pope Benedict XVI is in the Spanish capital, Madrid, for four days of events expected to be attended by hundreds of thousands of people.

During his stay he will celebrate World Youth Day (WYD), a Catholic festival bringing together young pilgrims from around the world.

Overnight there were clashes between police and protesters demonstrating against the cost of the event.
