New protests in France, authorities fear riots and looting by shopkeepers

Protests against living costs in France have resumed with heightened security, involving unions, former yellow vests, and students. Authorities deployed 70,000 police to prevent violence, following previous unrest. While most demonstrations began peacefully, concerns remain about potential clashes with radical groups later in the day. The protests, which started in mid-September, have escalated into a nationwide movement, drawing attention to social issues and leading to injuries among both protesters and police. The situation has sparked blame between political factions, with no clear solutions offered for the ongoing crisis.
