-------------------------------------------


 
Massive student protests against education cuts and tuition hikes are
continuing in Chile, as well as in the Canadian province of Quebec. On
Wednesday, an estimated 50,000 students marched in the Chilean capital
of Santiago. Meanwhile in Montreal, at least 85 people were arrested
after protests erupted over the breakdown of talks with the provincial
government. The Quebec student strike is in its 10th week.
