  "summary": "France is bracing for a third consecutive weekend of nationwide demonstrations on Saturday, as Yellow Vest activists and student groups protest against the rising cost of living and school conditions. According to RFI English and France 24, authorities are deploying 70,000 security personnel, including police officers and gendarmes, across the country. The Local France reports that shops have been boarded up as officials attempt to prevent a recurrence of street violence seen two weeks ago.\n\nInterior Minister Laurent Nuñez warned of a very high risk of disorder, particularly after dark on Halloween, Le Monde English reports. France's highest administrative court has upheld a ban on the planned route of the Paris march, which France 24 notes will force protesters to remain on the eastern outskirts of the capital. Additionally, Le Monde English states that demonstrations are banned in city centers, while France 24 reports that curfews are being imposed in some areas. The interior minister also issued a warning that covering one's face during a demonstration remains illegal, according to France 24.",
