France riots latest - curfews imposed in Paris and other cities after days of violent disorder
French police have imposed curfews in cities across the country, after days of violent disorder, with shops looted and buildings set on fire. In parts of central Paris, people will be banned from the streets between 2300 and 0600. In Nice the curfew applies only to young people.

What the coverage shows
Both outlets identify the story as the France riots and the BBC gives the clearest factual treatment, foregrounding curfews in Paris and other cities after days of disorder. The BBC extract is the only one that adds details about looting, fires, and the specific curfew rules in central Paris and Nice. The Economist headline frames the topic more generally as “France’s riots,” but its extract offers no additional coverage of the event itself.
