                <media:description>Police officers carry away a protester at an unregistered demonstration against government coronavirus regulations held next to the Siegesaeule, or Victory Column, in Berlin, Germany on August 30, 2020, one day after some 38,000 people, double the number expected, had gathered in Berlin to protest restrictions imposed to curb the spread of the coronavirus, such as the wearing of masks and social distancing. - German leaders Sunday, August 30, 2020 condemned the &quot;unacceptable&quot; attempt by protesters to storm the Reichstag parliament building during the Saturday, August 29, mass rally. Some of the protesters on Saturday carried the flag of the former German Reich which was used up until the end of the First World War.

                <media:description>BERLIN, GERMANY - AUGUST 29: People gather at the Victory Column in the city center to hear speeches during a protest against coronavirus-related restrictions and government policy on August 29, 2020 in Berlin, Germany. Tens of thousands of people from a wide spectrum, including coronavirus skeptics, conspiracy enthusiasts, hippies, right-wing extremists, religious conservatives and others converged on Berlin to attend the protests. City authorities had banned the protests, citing the flouting of social distancing by participants in a similar march that drew at least 17,000 people a few weeks ago, but a court overturned the ban.
