Violence has broken out in Beijing among tens of thousand of people queuing to buy tickets for the Olympics.

Scuffles began as temperatures rose to more than 35 degrees Celsius, and police had to bring in reinforcements to regain order.

Nearly seven-million tickets have been issued for the Olympics, with about three quarters of them sold in China.
