> Thousands of students in Albania protested government corruption, rising education costs and scarce job prospects for a second day on Wednesday. In Tirana, demonstrators set government buildings on fire and threw objects at police, who responded with tear gas and water cannons. French high school students have blocked schools for weeks over facilities and funding, while students in Greece set up protest tent camps.
