Students battle with riot police in Palermo as Italy sees new wave of protests

Student protesters in Italy clashed with police in the Sicilian capital Palermo on Wednesday as part of nation-wide demonstrations over university budget cuts that are expected to be approved by parliament.

Students said the red colour symbolised both the blood spilt in last week's violent protests, and the budgets of Italy's education system.
