France's interior minister said 135 people had been arrested as tens of thousands marched in protests across the country, BBC News reports. Its broadcast adds two things to a story that has filled the week: student protesters explaining why they kept marching, and a new legal response in Italy.

The day followed last weekend's riots and looting, which the BBC says affected thousands of businesses and led to more than 2,700 arrests. On screen, the BBC counts protests in more than 100 places. The presenter notes tear gas in Lyon. In Paris, police said they had seized weapons and gas masks before posting that "all is calm." Walking through a peaceful rally, correspondent Nick Beake frames the day's concern: "will there be a repeat of the extreme violence of last weekend?"

Mark Lowen speaks with students. Julian says ministers "just told us to get back to work" when students raised their demands. He says the march has become about assembly itself, because protest is not allowed in most of the city: "We're now protesting for our right to protest." Anaïs answers the question of France's budget deficits by calling for higher taxes on the wealthy to fund public services. She also says: "Violence is never the answer, but the first violence come from the government."

From Milan, Sarah Rainsford reports on Italy's emergency decrees, which she says include making violent protest a specific offense punishable by up to five years in prison. The broadcast also shows rallies in Rome under close watch.

The report has drawn close to 190,000 views since yesterday, more than any other new BBC News video.
