WorldStudents clash with police in Brussels as tens of thousands join Belgium austerity strike

Tens of thousands of Belgian trade union members went on strike Friday to protest planned austerity measures. Police clashed with high school students who joined the demonstration, and at least 20 people were arrested. Al Jazeera correspondent Rosie Birchard said events escalated quickly in Brussels, where fires were lit and police scuffles broke out. Some young protesters said French demonstrations inspired them, and they were angry about conditions at their schools.
