''Blockupy'' Protesters Target European Central Bank 
-----------------------------------------------------


 
Thousands of protesters with the activist movement "Blockupy" have
blocked access to the European Central Bank in Frankfurt, Germany, in a
protest against European austerity. The demonstrators were confronted by
scores of police in riot gear. The action comes as the unemployment rate
in the Eurozone jumps to a new record of 12.2 percent. More than 19
million people in Europe were out of work in April.
