May Day rallies sweep globe

International Workers' Day rallies have swept across the globe as millions demand economic relief from rising inflation.

Demonstrations in major cities from Istanbul to Los Angeles have highlighted the shrinking purchasing power of workers, exacerbated by the ongoing war in Iran.

In Turkey, police used tear gas to disperse crowds attempting to reach Taksim Square, resulting in hundreds of arrests.

The protests underscore a growing global frustration with labor conditions and the high cost of living driven by regional conflicts.
