French police fire tear gas as more than 300,000 march across France in latest anti-government protests
Around 70,000 police are expected to deployed nationwide as France braces for further unrest. Demonstrations have also been held in Germany and Albania
What the coverage shows
Both outlets focus on the Paris protests and the use of tear gas, with The Independent also foregrounding the claim that more than 300,000 marched across France. Fox News frames it more as a breaking-clashes item and, unlike The Independent, its extract is mostly promotional and does not add much detail beyond the headline. The Independent alone mentions nationwide police deployment and protests in Germany and Albania.
