The curfew has been extended in certain areas of Paris, every night from 11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. until Monday morning. The measure has been in force since the violence and looting of the weekend, according to an order from the Paris police prefecture published Thursday. A Paris protest Thursday organised by students -- who had held four weeks of protests before the October 17 rallies -- went ahead with hundreds attending after a police ban was overturned by an emergency court injunction. FRANCE 24's Mark Owen speaks with Alice Cohen-Morzadec, International Spokesperson of "L'Union étudiante."
