French authorities launch massive security operation amid unrest

Masked demonstrators build barricades and launch fireworks as riot police respond with tear gas and water cannons. Good Morning America's report from France shows how protests over living costs, public service cuts and police violence have become a security concern around a major sporting event.

ABC News correspondent Tom Soufi Burridge reports more than 1,000 arrests across the country, with authorities changing protest routes to protect city centers. The unrest also affects events surrounding Paris's first regular-season NFL game. A U.S. State Department advisory urges Americans to exercise caution and remain aware of their surroundings.

Reporting live from Paris, Burridge draws a distinction between the clashes and their aftermath: he says there is relief that vandalism and looting were limited compared with earlier protests. The report then widens its focus to demonstrations elsewhere in Europe, including clashes in Albania and rallies in Italy, Portugal and Spain.

The brief report drew about 46,000 views in 13 hours, already far beyond GMA's usual full-day audience for Shorts. Its central thread is the pressure of living costs, which Burridge identifies as a driver of unrest across several European countries.
