Almost 1,000 people were arrested after another day of mass protests in France over the cost of living and poor school conditions. Police used tear gas and water cannon in cities including Paris, while barricades burned in Marseille. The interior ministry estimated 410,000 protesters; unions put the figure near 800,000. About 70,000 officers were deployed to prevent a repeat of last weekend's looting.
