At least 12 people have been left dead after protestors in Peru tried to storm an airport in the southern city of Juliaca. The clash is another violent outburst in Peru's ongoing, month-long, political crisis, as protestors demand the removal of President Dina Boluarte, who took power after her predecessor, Pedro Castillo, was ousted and arrested on December 7.
Protesters and police clashed in Lima on Saturday during renewed demonstrations against Peru's interim President Dina Boluarte, where demonstrators are demanding she step down and hold elections. Women wearing traditional costumes marched through the streets of downtown Lima, one of them denouncing a "traitorous, genocidal government".

Clashes break out between protesters and police during an anti-governmental protest in the streets of Lima. Peruvian President Dina Boluarte on Friday called for a multiparty dialogue to help resolve her country's political crisis, saying two months of sometimes deadly anti-government protests had left the nation a "fragile democracy."
A number of London police have stepped back from firearms duties after a fellow officer was charged with murder over the fatal shooting of a young black man, a force spokesman said Sunday.
