Paris police enforce overnight curfew in two areas after riots in France
Paris police imposed an overnight curfew in two areas of the French capital on Monday following a weekend of widespread rioting and looting. Police guarded Place de la République and the Les Halles shopping district, checking identities and directing passers-by to take alternative routes.

What the coverage shows
Both outlets frame the story around curfews spreading in response to riots, and both mention Paris alongside other French cities. BBC News broadens the coverage to a national picture and adds that the Paris ban runs from 2300 to 0600, while its later update says Nice’s curfew applies only to young people. The Associated Press is the only outlet to specify two Paris areas, Place de la République and Les Halles, and to describe police checks and route diversions.
