Housing and cost-of-living anger that has driven weeks of unrest in Spain and France crossed borders this weekend, with masked rioters clashing with police in Milan, a tent camp springing up in Lisbon and demonstrators in Albania facing rubber bullets for the first time.

Albanian police fired rubber bullets at anti-government protesters in Tirana on Saturday for the first time since demonstrations began five days ago, the national police chief has confirmed, as clashes between students and security forces intensified outside the prime minister's office.
