MAY DAY IN EUROPE - National issues highlighted in Europe's May Day rallies

May Day celebrations turned sour in Istanbul as Turkish police fired tear gas and sprayed water cannon at anti-government protesters. They were prevented from entering the main Taksim Square, which was closed by the authorities. A man was killed in an accident after being run over by a police truck. 
Security was tight with some 15,000 police deployed, following two terrorist attacks in the city this year blamed on ISIL.
