Italian students protest austerity education cuts in Rome

Italian students are rallying against Prime Minister Mario Monti's austerity measures that have cut into education spending.

Demonstrators march during a protest on a day of mobilisation against austerity measures by workers in southern Europe on November 14, 2012 in Rome. Riot police and anti-austerity protesters clashed in Italy on Wednesday as anger boiled over on a Europe-wide day of strikes and mass demonstrations.
