Anti-government protests in Albania's capital, Tirana, have turned confrontational, with demonstrators throwing stones at police and setting rubbish bins on fire as they demand the resignation of Prime Minister Edi Rama.

Police deployed a water cannon during the demonstration as tensions escalated between officers and protesters.

The protests initially began in May over plans for a luxury hotel development in a protected nature reserve, a project linked to US President Donald Trump's family through his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and his daughter Ivanka Trump.

What began as peaceful rallies has, since mid-October, increasingly developed into confrontations between demonstrators and police in Tirana
