Protests Turn Violent in Paris Over Cost of Living

Riot police engaged with protesters in Paris on Saturday during a demonstration concerning the rising cost of living, which attracted an estimated 110,000 participants, according to France's Interior Ministry.

Footage from the event showed demonstrators throwing projectiles and instances of storefronts being damaged.

The New York Post also reported on separate clashes between Italian police and protesters in Rome, where water cannons were deployed.
