(CNN) -- Thousands of people across the world railed against corporate power, grinding poverty and government cuts Saturday as the Occupy Wall Street movement spread to the streets of Europe, Asia and Australia -- and took a particularly violent turn in Rome.

Firefighters battled a blaze at an Interior Ministry building near Porta San Giovanni in Rome, the main gathering site of the Italian protesters taking part in the Occupy movement Saturday, said eyewitnesses who reported seeing a Molotov cocktail thrown near the building.

A spokesman for Mayor Gianni Alemanno, who condemned the violence, confirmed 70 people were injured, 40 of them police officers. No arrest numbers were available late Saturday.

Police said hundreds of anarchists in Rome moved in where peaceful demonstrators had gathered as part of the global Occupy movement. The anarchists -- some wearing ski masks and belonging to a group termed "Black Bloc" -- torched cars, broke windows and clashed with police.

"It's been completely hijacked by these violent factions, and the police are nervous, and the situation is very tense," Barbie Nadeau, a Newsweek correspondent, told CNN. "I myself saw at least -- I would say -- a dozen people who probably needed some hospitalization or some care -- some stitches certainly."

Two police officers were seriously injured and two young men lost parts of their hands in explosions when protesters torched cars, she said.

In London, protester Peter Vaughn, reflecting the mood of many in the crowd there, said people criticized financial institutions that have "gambled away our money."

"We're giving people a real voice against a government that just ignored us," he said.

One protester in Belleville, France, referring to the country's leaders, said government isn't listening to the people and dialogue with them is impossible.

"You are not listening to us, whatever we do, however we vote, however we demonstrate. It does not give any result. Quite the opposite, as poverty and austerity plans continue. So we can't go on like this so we are getting out and showing ourselves," he said.

The protests spread amid the growing financial crises for several Western countries. Finance ministers with the Group of 20, meeting in Paris, pledged Saturday to take "all necessary actions" to stabilize global markets and ensure that banks are well capitalized.

Europeans turned out amid debt troubles and austerity plans in Greece, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Ireland, Portugal and Germany.

United for Global Change -- the central site for the movement organizing worldwide protests -- said 951 cities in 82 countries were to take part in the demonstrations after online organizers called for a worldwide rally.

More than 10,000 demonstrators of all ages gathered peacefully in Madrid's spacious Plaza de Cibeles on Saturday and than walked uphill to Puerta del Sol. The "May 15 Movement" started five months ago to the day over austerity measures and high unemployment. Some demonstrators said they felt Spain's protest had gone global and that the world had joined the movement started in their country. The newspaper El Pais said tens of thousands of protesters turned out in Barcelona.

Around the world, protesters marched, listened to speeches, and displayed banners reading anti-corporate slogans, including the now ubiquitous "we are the 99%," "Banks are cancer" and tax the rich 1%."

The vandalism that erupted in Rome angered peaceful protesters. There were car fires and masked people breaking windows at banks and stores, where many thousands faced a large police presence. Firefighters were working to contain the blaze and the tensions calmed down in the evening hours. But the echo of Molotov cocktails could be heard and a lingering cloud of black smoke could be seen, Nadeau told CNN.

In Germany, police used pepper spray on two protesters who crossed beyond police lines.

Still, the demonstrations across the world were peaceful overall, inspired by the protests in the United States. In London, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange spoke to demonstrators. The demonstrations are contained to an area in front of St. Paul's Cathedral. There have also been three arrests, two for assault on police.

"What is happening here today is a culmination of greed that many people all over the world have worked towards from Cairo to London," Assange said.

Tens of thousands demonstrated in German cities, witnesses said. Peaceful protests with a festive atmosphere blended with a mood of anger toward big business, where demonstrators carried signs saying "Goldman Sucks," "Eat Cash," "People should not be afraid of their government," and "The government should be afraid of their people."

"They are stealing our rights," one banner read at a demonstration of several thousand people in Madrid.
Canadians turned out in Toronto, with placards jutting up from a crowd saying "Arrest the 1%" and "Stop ignoring the youth, we are your tomorrow." A sign on a dog said "99% against (corporate) fat cats."

Retired businessman Wong Chi Keung, in Hong Kong, said, "We should not let the banks get away with being big bullies."

Debbie Chen works for a group protesting against Apple's treatment of its workers in China.
"As the world's most valuable company they earn the lion's share while the workers on the production line earn only 1% of the selling price of an iPhone. We hope there can be more even distribution of profits," she said.

About 200 people marched through Tokyo carrying various signs, including "No More Nukes and "Free Tibet." The crowd included children jumping and skipping behind the adults. Some protesters wore costumes -- including a giant panda.

"I'm here because young Japanese people are suffering for losing their jobs, but not many speak out their issue to the public," said Kesao Murakami. "I really want young people to appeal forcefully to the public saying, 'We are in trouble.' "

In the Indonesian capital of Jakarta, about two dozen people -- some wearing masks -- gathered near the U.S. Embassy.

"We wanted to show that the American regime, its system of imperialism needs to be destroyed," said Rudi Daman, leader of the International League of Peoples' Struggle.

The group urged its chapters to stage a global day of action against "imperialist plunder, repression and war."

Australian cities of Melbourne and Sydney joined rallies against "corporate greed" as protesters aligned themselves with the global movement.

"Our protests are to show our solidarity with Occupy Wall Street and also protest various problems -- from indigenous issues in this country to government problems," said Alex Gard, one of the Melbourne organizers. "We know we have it better than the protesters in the States ... but there are still problems in this country."

Organizers urged protesters to bring sleeping bags and other soft items to sleep on.

"I've heard people say they plan to be there for days, even months," Gard said.

Organizers worldwide started social media pages on Facebook and Twitter devoted to "October 15" — #O15 on Twitter — urging protesters to join the global call for protests.

The worldwide movement is galvanized by the Occupy Wall Street movement started last month as a backlash against the economy and what demonstrators say is an out-of-touch corporate, financial and political elite.

Occupy Wall Street organizers say they are inspired by the Arab Spring that led to the toppling of regimes in Tunisia and Egypt.

The founding movement in the United States has spread to other major cities in the nation.

占领城市运动蔓延全球，占领罗马运动已造成70人受伤

自从占领华尔街运动开始，全球各国大城市相继爆发占领大城市运动。

你是否有参加或者支持抗议呢？把你的相片或视频发给我们，然后去我们的专栏分享你的故事吧。

（CNN报道）--成千上万响应全球“占领华尔街”活动、痛斥大公司权力、抱怨贫穷和政府在星期六削减经费的意大利人，在罗马进行了一场特别激烈的抗议。

消防员全力扑救在罗马波塔·圣·乔凡尼（Porta San Giovanni ）附近的内务部大楼的大火，这也是在星期六当天意大利占领运动的抗议者的主要集中地，而有目击者说看到有人向大楼投掷了燃烧弹。

意大利
罗马市长Gianni Alemanno委派的发言人对这起暴力事件表示强烈的谴责，并同时确认了有70人在事件中受伤，其中40个是警察，至于拘捕人数要到星期六晚些时间才有确切的统计数字。

警察说有上百名无政府主义者去到示威者的集中地，成为了占领运动的一分子。那些无政府主义者--一些戴着滑雪面具，隶属于一个名叫“黑盟”（Black Bloc）的团体--他们点燃汽车、打烂商店玻璃以及与在场警察发生冲突。

“我们完全被那些人的暴力行为感染了，而警察显然很紧张，现场环境也很乱，”新闻周刊的通讯记者Barbie Nadeau告诉CNN，“我看见最少有十几个人需要医疗帮助，可能也需要缝针。”
Nadeau说，有两名警察严重受伤，有两个年轻男子在燃烧汽车的爆炸中被炸掉了部分的手。

英国
在伦敦，一位名叫Peter Vaughn的抗议者反映了大部分抗议人群的心声，他说，人们批评金融机构“把他们的钱都赌得一干二净”。

他说：“我们在向忽略我们的政府透露我们的心声。”

一位在法国“美丽城”（Belleville）的抗议者把占领运动的原因归咎于国家领导，他表示政府没有听取民意，市民和政府对话根本就不可能。

他说：“政府不听我们的意见，我们做些什么、无论怎样投票、怎样示威，都没有任何回应。相反地，贫穷和紧缩的经济计划一如既往地压迫着我们。因此我们不能再强忍，我们要走到街上向政府展现我们的心声。”

抗议运动在一些有金融危机的国家迅速蔓延开去。G20的各国财政部长在巴黎进行会面，会中各国财政部长表示要“采取一切有效措施”去维持金融市场的稳定，保障银行资本化正常。

欧洲中有债务危机和削减财政支出计划的国家有希腊、比利时、意大利、西班牙、爱尔兰、葡萄牙和德国。

为了全球的改变--组织这次全球性占领运动的主要网站--表示在网上号召示威之后，有82个国家、951个城市响应这次占领运动，举行了集会。

西班牙
在周六，超过10000名不同年龄段的示威者在马德里西贝蕾斯大地女神广场（Plaza de Cibeles）和平集会，然后步行到太阳门广场（Puerta del Sol）。正好这天距离“5月15行走”有5个月的时间，而该次运动是因为财政削减以及高失业率引起的。一些示威者说他们感觉到西班牙的抗议运动已经变为全球性的运动，全球各地也加入了他们发起的抗议运动。《国家报》（El Pais）表示有数万名示威者在巴塞罗那的街头出现。

纵观全球，各地有示威者行走，他们向人们演讲，展示写满“反大公司”标语的横幅，包括现在街知巷闻的标语“我们占99%的数目”“银行像癌症一样”以及“向那1%的富人收税吧！”

与此同时，对罗马的破坏使和平的抗议者感觉愤怒。街头充满着焚烧的汽车，蒙面人士破坏银行与商铺的玻璃，使得和平的抗议者被迫面对一大班警察。Nadeau告诉CNN，消防员在晚上已经控制了大楼的火势，但是随时可能也会再有燃烧弹的威胁，仍有一团黑色的烟云在大楼上空萦绕。

德国
在德国，警察向两名冲过警察防线的示威者使用胡椒喷雾。

其实，由于得到美国抗议的启示，世界各地的示威活动还是很和平的。在伦敦，维基解密的创始人朱利安·阿桑奇（Julian Assange）与示威者谈话。示威活动在圣保罗大教堂（St. Paul's Cathedral）前空地进行。但也有3名示威者因为袭警而被捕。

阿桑奇说：“今天发生的一切是占领运动的高潮，是全球各地的人努力争取的结果。”

有目击者说，有上万人在德国城市进行示威。和平的抗议混杂着愉悦的气氛以及对大企业的愤怒，示威者的标语写着“有钱人太烂了！”“吃钱吧！”“人们不应该害怕政府，反过来政府应该害怕人们”。

马德里几千人示威中有条横幅特别抢眼--“他们正在偷取我们的权利”。

加拿大人集中在多伦多示威，有些海报在人群中特别闪亮--“捉走那1%的富人吧”“不要忽视年轻人，我们是国家的未来”。有只狗狗带着一个写有“99%的人共同对抗（大企业）肥猫。”

中国香港
在香港，退休的商人Wong Chi Keung说：“我们不能让横行霸道的银行逃脱责任。”

Debbie Chen在一个为苹果对待中国员工不公的抗议团体中工作。

她说：“作为世界上最有价值的公司，他们赚取巨额的利润，但工人们只能从Iphone销售的利润中赚取1%。我们希望可以为工人们争取更大份额的利益。”

日本及其他国家
大约有200名示威者带着各种标语在东京进行示威行走，其中标语有如“抵制核武器”（注：还有一个原文写的和谐标语没翻译，请各位移步原文查看）等。示威人群还有小朋友在其中。一些抗议者穿上各式各样的服装--其中还有一个穿着大熊猫装。

“今天我到这里来是因为很多年轻的日本人正面临着失业的困境，但他们当中很少人有机会对大众发表自己的心声”Kesao Murakami说，“我真心希望年轻人可以站出来，向公众强烈地说出‘我们在困难中’的话语。”

在印尼首都雅加达，大概有几十人，一些人戴着面具，他们在美国大使馆外聚集。

“我们想向美国政权表示，他们的帝国主义体制应该要被摧毁，”Rudi Daman说，他是国际人民斗争联盟（International League of Peoples’ Struggle）的领导人。

这个组织意在促进全球对“帝国主义侵略、压迫以及战争”的反抗斗争。

在澳大利亚城市墨尔本以及悉尼也有相当的人响应全球占领运动的号召，上街集会高举抵抗“企业贪婪腐败”的抗议牌。

“我们抗议是与‘占领华尔街’以及其他一系列问题抗议的目标相一致的--从本土的问题到政府的问题都包含其中，”一位占领墨尔本运动的组织者Alex Gard说“我们知道我们比美国的抗议者处境要好…但我们国家仍然存在相当多的问题。”

组织者还呼吁参加抗议的人士带上睡袋或者柔软的物件，以便在抗议的位置睡觉。

Gard说：“我听人们说他们准备在这抗议几天，甚至几个月。”

全球占领运动的组织者通过Facebook以及Twitter向世界各地的人们发起倡议--希望他们都加入到全球性的占领运动中去。

全球的占领运动始作俑者是“占领华尔街”运动，“占领华尔街”运动是上个月发起的，意在在经济不景的大环境下，对那些高高在上的企业、金融机构以及政治家的示威抗议。

“占领华尔街”运动的组织者说他们这次活动是受到了阿拉伯国家有如突尼西亚以及埃及的反政权活动的鼓舞。

“占领华尔街”活动的风气已经向全球各国的主要城市蔓延。
