Youth-led protests continue to spread across Europe

ABC News reports that more than 300,000 people took to Europe's streets for a third consecutive weekend, with markedly different scenes across the countries in its brief roundup.

In France, the report describes demonstrations as calmer than in recent protests. In Germany, footage shows riot police confronting demonstrators, while the anchor reports that stores in Hamburg were vandalized. The report also shows demonstrations in Genoa, Italy, following a nationwide general strike.

The shared subjects are everyday pressures: living costs, education and housing. ABC closes by reporting that French unions are calling for a general strike on Thursday, extending the story beyond the weekend's marches.

The upload, titled "Youth-led protests continue to spread across Europe," has reached roughly 288,000 views in its first eleven hours, already far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for Shorts. Its compact format brings the contrasting street scenes together without offering a detailed account of the organizers or demands in each country.
