> A new wave of student protests swept through Brussels on Saturday, with sporadic clashes, TASS reported. Police blocked several hundred school and university students because their march was unauthorized. Protesters refused to disperse and threw firecrackers and bottles and launched fireworks at police, who responded with water cannons and tear gas. After reinforcements arrived, the crowd broke into smaller groups and scattered.
