What the coverage shows

BBC News, AP and Channel 4 all focus on curfews imposed in Paris and other French cities after days of rioting and looting. AP is the only outlet here to specify that the Paris curfew covers two areas and to name Place de la République and Les Halles, while BBC also notes a separate curfew in Nice for young people only. The Economist extract does not cover the event at all, mentioning it only in the item title list.
