  "summary": "French unions and student groups are scheduled to protest this Saturday in an authorized march through central Paris to support young people and protest the high cost of living. The Malay Mail and The Economic Times report that these demonstrations follow weeks of nationwide strikes and youth-led unrest, including a Thursday where hundreds of thousands of striking workers took to the streets.\n\nThe Yellow Vests movement has declined to join the authorized march, instead calling for a separate rally at Place de la Concorde near the presidential palace and the lower house of parliament. This rally is planned despite a ban by authorities.\n\nInterior Minister Laurent Nunez stated that 70,000 police officers and security forces will be deployed across the country, noting that forces will be ready for any rioters or looters. While demonstrations have been largely peaceful, Malay Mail notes there have been instances of vandalism and clashes with police, including on October 17 when the country experienced its worst rioting in years.",
