"Riot police in Mexico City have clashed near Congress with students opposed to the government's education reforms. 

Some protesters threw rocks and firebombs to disrupt the opening of a new legislative session of parliament and police responded with tear gas. 

The violence came after two weeks of protests by teachers against mandatory evaluations for their performance.

Congress is due to vote on the measure, which the government says will improve the quality of public education.

Their faces covered, protesters shouted "Out with Pena Nieto", referring to Mexico's president."...image from BBC
