Paris police in new battles with protesters and looters
- French police battled protesters and looters for a second day Sunday as the country reeled from the violent chaos left by a day of cost-of-living demonstrations in which 2,000 people were arrested nationwide.
- Paris city workers had not finished clearing up the torched cars, smashed shopfronts and burnt debris from Saturday's unrest when the new troubles started and political recriminations erupted.
- AFP journalists said several hundred people gathered in the Republique square in the capital following social media calls for a gathering that authorities said had not been approved.
