Mexico protesters block airport
Description
Hundreds of protesters block an international airport in Mexico, demanding more to be done to find 43 missing students.
They disappeared in late September in Guerrero, after clashing with police.
The government says corrupt officers working with a local drug gang abducted and apparently killed them.
Parents of those missing have been leading protests in recent weeks.

The area was once a holiday hotspot, attracting Hollywood movie stars.
