Bahraini protesters battle police
With the Olympics 2012 just around the corner, it seems the whole world has gone sporting mad.
Now even Victoria's Secret are getting in on the action.
Models Candice Swanepoel and Erin Heatherton show off new workout gear in the new campaign for ' Very Sexy' Spring Summer 2012.
Featuring grey crop tops, bras and leggings with a yellow and blue trim, the clothes are designed for working out in style.
But unfortunately for most people, purchases do not come with a Victoria's Secret body guarantee - that only comes with hard work.
Erin, who is currently dating actor Leonardo Di Caprio, recently revealed she works out four times a week to stay in shape.
The 23- year- old told Shape magazine: ' Yes, I like to work out approximately four times per week.
'I really try to do a full-body workout rather than focusing on a specific part of my body. I utilize a variety of exercises to maximize my heart rate to burn calories.'
When it comes to diet, she prefers a balanced diet - and forgoes the junk.
She said: ' I try to resist temptation as often as possible. I remind myself that end result of giving into temptations is often not worth the expense.
' I try to eat as healthy as possible. This includes eating a balanced diet of foods such as granola, vegetables, protein, nuts.'
MANAMA, March 24 (Reuters) Bahraini protesters battled with riot police near Manama on Friday after the funeral of a woman whose family said she died after tear gas entered her home twice in the past week.
A U.N. rights body this week expressed concern over the use of excessive force and tear gas by Bahraini security forces.
Police moved in with water cannon and armoured vehicles to break up hundreds of protesters as they approached a checkpoint near 'Pearl Roundabout', hub of pro-democracy protests last year led by majority Shi'ite Muslims complaining of marginalisation.
The wind carried some of the tear gas away, allowing youths to lob petrol bombs at close range at the vehicles, scoring direct hits. The water cannon fired hot water during the clashes in the district of Jidhafs on the edge of the capital.
The protesters carried banners in the name of the February 14 Youth Coalition, a movement formed since last year's uprising which says it wants the overthrow of the Al Khalifa family that dominates Bahrain's government and economy.
Police later brought in reinforcements of at least several hundred riot police with batons and shields who fired tear gas into the neighbourhood as youths taunted them from a distance, sometimes grabbing the tear gas canisters and hurling them back.
"Come and fight hand to hand, you cowards, you animals!" one teenager shouted before throwing a rock at police, a mainly Sunni force which employs many foreigners.
Police fired back, engulfing a vegetable market in tear gas.
