In London, thousands of students are planning to take to the streets in a final attempt to block the raising of tuition fees, ahead of Thursday's parliamentary vote. Trade unionists are also expected to join in. It's the latest in a string of rallies against sweeping austerity measures and budget cuts across Europe. Many European Union countries have been shaken by protests against proposed cuts needed to secure EU-IMF bailouts. The latest were in Ireland - against the state's narrowly passed budget - the toughest in its history. The plan includes six billion euros of spending cuts and tax hikes. Richard Boyd Barrett, from the People Before Profit Alliance says, Ireland failed because its own government was over-enthusiastic in pursuing flawed European polices.
