Hundreds of thousands of people demonstrated across France on the third consecutive weekend of nationwide protests against rising living costs and poor public services. France's interior ministry reported more than 320,000 protesters nationwide and at least 290 arrests. Police estimated about 70,000 people marched in Paris, where officers deployed tear gas during clashes with demonstrators. Authorities expanded security measures following violence and looting during protests two weeks prior. Demonstrations also occurred in Albania, Germany and Italy, according to BBC reporting.
