Russia protests: Putin opponents march in Moscow

Thousands of anti-government protesters are marching in Moscow, ahead of a major rally to demand fresh Russian elections and a new president.

The protest, on a national holiday, comes a day after police raided the homes of several prominent activists.

Last week, President Vladimir Putin signed a new law increasing fines for those who violate protest laws.
