French cities that imposed a curfew Monday saw a generally calm night, after October 17 protests devolved into violent riots this past weekend. Despite criticism from citizens, France's government said it is maintaining the measure where necessary on Tuesday night.

What the coverage shows
All of the outlets frame the story around France imposing curfews in Paris and other cities in response to weekend unrest, with several including references to rioting, looting or violent disorder. The Guardian US and NBC News both foreground officials saying police had “lost control,” while the New York Times emphasizes the interior minister’s admission that police were underprepared and the prime minister’s pledge to restore order. Only the South China Morning Post mentions soaring prices and the possibility of a state of emergency, and the BBC alone specifies that Nice’s curfew applies only to young people.
