@abcworldnews: Across France, more than 600,000 people from several large protest groups joined forces to march against rising living costs and public spending cuts – and some 70,000 police were deployed nationwide. It comes after weeks of nationwide demonstrations, which have seen incidents of violence, vandalism and looting – particularly on Oct. 17 when the French government admitted that police "lost control." The nationwide day of action impacted French rail services, schools and other public institutions. The Eiffel Tower also closed due to the strike.
