Canadian truckers stage a protest outside the parliament against Covid vaccine mandates, in Canada's capital Ottawa. The trucker-led protests have shut down central Ottawa for 14 days, trying to force the government to lift Covid-19 health regulations. The so-called Freedom Convoy began last month in western Canada -- launched in anger at requirements that truckers either be vaccinated, or test and isolate, when crossing the US-Canada border.

Trucks remain parked outside Parliament in Ottawa as protesters enter their 13th day of occupying Canada's capital -- more determined than ever to stay put until all Covid restrictions are lifted. In the capital, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau -- who a day earlier issued a stern warning the protests "had to stop" -- appeared to shift tone, saying he understood "how frustrated everyone is" and that "the time is coming when we will be able to relax."
