From GERMANY- Last weekend saw more massive demonstrations across France. Some 70,000 police were on the streets which limited the property damage and looting seen the weekend before. An interview with Donnatella della Porta, a leading Italian sociologist who is a professor in Florence. With youth led protests spreading around the world Donnatella analyzes whether this is a movement converging within each country and globally. She believes that the different social justice issues will join, especially opposed to the growing militarism escalating in many governments.
From FRANCE- The French government made promises to answer the youth who were demanding more focus and resources be given to education- many of the reforms announced are less than honest change.
