SCRIPT
Scores of protesters marched through Tokyo on Friday, ahead of a four-day state visit by US President Donald Trump.
Some of the demonstrators waved banners and chanted, accompanied by a heavy police presence, while others carried signs criticising the president and calling for the removal of US military bases in Japan.
During Trump's visit he will reportedly take part in a state banquet given by the country's new Emperor Naruhito and is also set to attend a sumo wrestling tournament.
The president is the first foreign leader to visit the country since the abdication of former Emperor Akihito on April 30 and the subsequent coronation of Naruhito.
