  "summary": "France’s first night under targeted curfews passed without major incidents, according to police. These measures were introduced in several cities, including Paris, Nice, and Bordeaux, following a weekend of rioting that followed weeks of student demonstrations regarding high school learning conditions. While some restrictions in Paris were initially set for only one night, Malay Mail reports that curfews in Bordeaux and Nice were scheduled to remain in place for several days.\n\nPrime Minister Sebastien Lecornu stated on X that the targeted curfews helped maintain a calm night. He noted that new curfews will be decided on Tuesday in areas where the situation requires it, with decisions made by prefects in coordination with mayors. France 24 reports that the government is seeking to restore order after demonstrations escalated into riots.",
