Thousands ARRESTED as France reels from weekend of VIOLENT riots

What the coverage shows

All four outlets frame the story as a day of protests over living costs, but they diverge on emphasis. France 24 foregrounds the start of nationwide demonstrations and the social climate ahead of elections, and in a later item it alone links the mobilisation to social media calls to revive the Yellow Vests and to student groups. The Guardian US and The Independent focus on clashes and arrests, while Al Jazeera broadens the frame to similar protests in Belgium, Italy and Portugal as well as France.
