PROTESTERS TO DEMAND CAMERON RESIGNATION

Protesters will march in London on Saturday demanding Prime Minister David Cameron's resignation over his admission he held shares in an offshore trust.

Mr Cameron says the trust set up by his late father was not used to avoid UK tax, and that he sold the shares before he entered Downing Street in 2010.

He'd been linked to the Panama Papers scandal after his father was named in a huge leak of financial data.

At first Downing Street would only say his finances were a 'private matter'.

UK correspondent Olly Barratt says Mr Cameron remains under pressure from critics and political opponents.
