France braces for new protests
A coalition of the “Yellow Vests” movement, trade unions and students will march across France on Saturday with demands over studying conditions and purchasing power. Some 70,000 police are expected to be deployed as authorities fear looting and vandalism similar to last Saturday's unrest.

What the coverage shows
All four outlets frame the story as France preparing for another round of protests under heavy security, with The Independent, Al Jazeera and France 24 all foregrounding fears of violence, looting or vandalism. France 24 is the only outlet to spell out the protest coalition and its demands, while AP is the only one to foreground Macron’s visit to Trappes after a deadly shooting alongside the protests. The Independent alone also highlights closures at the Louvre and other attractions.
