    ANTI-AUSTERITY protesters seeking to spoil the inauguration of the European Central Bank's new headquarters in Frankfurt's east end set vehicles alight, erected barricades and left a trail of destruction across the city.

    Police deployed water cannons to restore calm and keep the demonstrators at bay in the area surrounding the 1.3 billion- euro (S$1.8 billion) tower, after setting up barbed wire and road blocks.
