Lisbon to Cologne: Guardian News shows Europe's street protests
The short footage roundup moves through three countries, from flag-filled marches to a police confrontation in Paris.
Why this story? One of the most watched videos since yesterday, with 15,830 views.
Protests across Europe continue on Halloween
Portuguese flags fill the streets of Lisbon; marchers follow tram tracks through Marseille; demonstrators gather beneath Berlin's Brandenburg Gate. Guardian News' new Short brings separate European protests into a compact sequence of street-level and aerial footage.
The channel describes the demonstrations as protests in defence of democracy and against economic hardship, placing them within a wave of unrest over the past month that includes housing protests in Spain and a student movement in France.
The footage itself offers glimpses rather than a detailed explanation of each city's demands. In Paris, riot police face demonstrators as smoke spreads across the street. Frankfurt's marchers carry handwritten placards, while a Berlin sign insists that Generation Z will not let itself be instrumentalised. The sequence ends with red flags moving through Cologne.
Posted today, the roundup has drawn about 16,000 views in its first three hours.
