  "account": "French protests, which were largely peaceful, were marred by violence in some cities, with almost 1,000 arrests made nationwide, according to Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez. The demonstrations, which drew around 410,000 participants, including 110,000 in Paris, were held over issues such as better school equipment and high living costs. Despite some instances of vandalism and looting, Nuñez stated that they were not comparable to those of the previous week, and that numerous looting attempts had been prevented. Two people were seriously injured during police operations in Clermont-Ferrand and Toulouse, and the \"Yellow Vests\" movement has announced new demonstrations for next week, including a \"third act\" on October 31.",
  "summary": "In France, hundreds of thousands of people are taking to the streets peacefully, but there is also violence again, despite a large police presence. The balance sheet is still incomplete.",
