🔮 Sweeping restrictions have been imposed on demonstrations across France but hundreds of thousands of protesters are still expected to gather in Paris and elsewhere for a second round of protests organised by students, trade unions and wider anti-government groups.

Thursday's release is the first of 10 scheduled to take place, with the final slated for June 2027.

The leader of the Catholic Church also addressed young people in his speech, describing them as "today's Church".
