What the coverage shows

All three outlets frame the story as student protests in France, with France 24 and AP also stressing wider union-backed demonstrations and linking them to pressure on Macron’s government. BBC News is the outlier in format and focus, presenting a field report from Lille rather than a broad update, while AP says the protests are continuing in both Paris and Lille and France 24 says it is showing the first images from demonstrations in Paris.
