Confederate flag at South Carolina State House pulled down - BBC News: "A black woman has climbed the flagpole in the grounds of the South Carolina State House and removed its controversial Confederate flag.
Bree Newsome climbed the 30ft (9m) steel pole just after dawn on Saturday despite police telling her to come down, Associated Press reported.
Ms Newsome and a man were later arrested and the flag returned.
There have been calls for it to be removed since nine people were killed in a racist attack in Charleston."
