Looting, fires and clashes rock France amid massive nationwide protests

Protesters clashed with police in Paris and other French cities on Saturday as hundreds of thousands took to the streets to protest higher living costs and the declining conditions in schools and other public services. Several town halls were broken into – and in at least one instance set on fire – and many shops were vandalised. One protester had his hand torn off by a crowd-control grenade used by police.
