Workers March in Cities Across the World to Mark May Day
--------------------------------------------------------

Tuesday was May Day, or International Workers' Day, and hundreds of
thousands of workers took to the streets worldwide. Major mobilizations
were held in Havana, Cuba; Paris, France; Manila, the Philippines;
Jakarta, Indonesia; Istanbul, Turkey; and in Puerto Rico, where police
attacked protesters demanding an end to austerity and U.S. colonial
rule. We'll have more on the protests in Puerto Rico, including a
special report from the streets, later in the broadcast.
