Description
A tourism office has been set on fire in Lyon as France grapples with a day of major protests over falling education standards and the cost of living. The French interior ministry condemns what it calls "targeted acts of violence" and accuses some protesters of attempts at looting and attacks on police. It follows three weeks of student-led protests across the country, with calls for students to be joined by workers' unions and key figures from the so-called "yellow vest" movement.
