French school protests spread as fires, blockades deepen unrest

What the coverage shows

All four outlets treat the story as a spreading student protest at French schools, with blockades, disruption and growing unrest as the common frame. Reuters foregrounds clashes with riot police and reported injuries, while France 24 focuses on students blocking entrances and notes the Interior Minister’s detention figure. South China Morning Post is alone in mentioning fires, more than 160 schools shut, and university students joining in, and the BBC is alone in mentioning a government crisis meeting.
