The former Fox News presenter Glenn Beck has addressed around 1,000 supporters at his controversial Restoring Courage rally in Jerusalem.

The presence of protesters calling for the controversial right-winger to "go home" did not deter him, as he spoke against the backdrop of the Old City of Jerusalem.

Mr Beck, known for strident remarks on topics from George Soros to Reform Judaism and the Utoya Island youth camp, has been in Israel for several days. Tuesday's event in Jerusalem was the final chapter in his Israel tour.

In his speech, Mr Beck offered a special "courage" award to the members of the Fogel family who were brutally murdered in March.
