At least 14 people have been killed in clashes between Kurdish protesters and police in Turkey, reports say.

They are unhappy at Turkish inaction in defending the town of Kobane in Syria from an attack by Islamic State (IS) militants.

Riot police used tear gas and water cannon in a number of towns and cities as the disturbances spread across the country, including Ankara and Istanbul.

Violent protests also erupted on the streets in Germany.

Curfews have now been imposed in several predominantly cities in south-eastern Turkey with large Kurdish populations.

There were also protests and clashes between Isis supporters and Kurds in Hamburg, Germany.

A number of people were hurt when clashes broke out in the German city of Hamburg after hundreds of Kurdish demonstrators in Hamburg held a rally against IS militants.

Some 400 Kurdish protesters fought with a similar number of radical Muslims, police told German media. Demonstrators, some carrying knives and knuckle-dusters, were eventually separated by police firing water cannon.
