Anti-Trump protesters plan fifth day of rallies

Meanwhile, demonstrators across the United States planned to take to the streets for a fifth straight day on Sunday to protest the election of Mr Trump, as the President-elect sparred on social media with one of the nation's largest newspapers.

Protests were scheduled for Sunday afternoon in New York City and Oakland, California, according to online announcements.

Thousands in several cities have demonstrated since the results from Tuesday's election showed Mr Trump lost the popular tally but gained enough votes in the 538-person Electoral College to win the presidency, surprising the world.

Demonstrators have decried Mr Trump's campaign promises to restrict immigration and register Muslims, as well as allegations the former reality-TV star sexually assaulted women.

Dozens have been arrested and a handful of police injured.

Chanting "Not my president" and "love trumps hate", people marched in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and elsewhere on Saturday, saying Mr Trump threatened their civil and human rights.

Mr Trump launched complaints of his own on Sunday on Twitter, attacking The New York Times for coverage that he said was "very poor and highly inaccurate".

The newspaper published a letter in Sunday's editions from publisher Arthur Sulzberger and executive editor Dean Baquet, not apologising, but thanking readers for their loyalty and asking how news outlets underestimated Mr Trump's support.

The Times plans to "hold power to account, impartially and unflinchingly" during the Trump presidency, they wrote
