Bahrain 'Confident' Grand Prix Will Not Be Disrupted -- BBC
The authorities in Bahrain say they are confident the Formula 1 Grand Prix will not be disrupted by protests.
The heavily-guarded race track has been surrounded with layers of security to keep opposition activists away.
On Saturday, protests intensified after the body of a Shia man killed in overnight in clashes with security forces was discovered on a rooftop.
Protesters are calling for the race to be cancelled, but the government is determined it will go ahead.
On the eve of the event, British Foreign Secretary William Hague spoke to his Bahraini counterpart to "call for restraint" in dealing with protesters.
The race is due to start at 15:00 (12:00 GMT).
