Inspired by the Occupy Wall Street movement, about 100 anti-corporate activists camped out across from the European Central Bank in Frankfurt, Germany. A protest in Rome turned into a riot, leaving torched cars and broken bank windows in its wake. Demonstrators in Tokyo focused on social disparities, unemployment and nuclear power. A march on the American embassy in the Philippines denounced alleged U.S. imperialism and wars of aggression. Similar protests have been held in scores of other cities as far afield as Ljubljana, Slovenia and Melbourne, Australia.
