  4. A French policeman was charged Tuesday with violence for firing a tear gas grenade at close range at a 14-year-old student during high school protests that have shaken the country. Speaking with FRANCE 24's Mark Owen, Fanny Gallois, Head of the Freedoms Program, Amnesty International, says that "the kind of weapons that are being used and the kind of injuries caused are extremely worrying for a country such as France".

    "Mass protests topples Spanish government, new election called

    Faced with thousands on the streets Premier Sanchez’s attempt to placate widespread unrest over the housing crisis were sunk by a right-wing coalition. As John Rees explains, the political balance in Spain is at a critical stage.

    Huge protests have forced the Spanish government to resign. There will now be a new general election on 29 November.

    Spain has been rocked by enormous protests over housing for weeks now.

    The housing crisis was already a contentious political issue when the high-profile eviction of an 87-year-old, Maricarmen Abascal, took place on 23 September. She issued this call ‘I want what happened to me to help ensure it doesn’t happen to other people. I want it to lead people to fight so the unfair laws that allowed for my eviction can be changed’. That triggered a huge popular response.

    Widespread protests turned into an organised encampment at a central square in Madrid, forcing the Spanish government under Pedro Sanchez to agree to an emergency relief package including a temporary ban on evictions and stronger protection for tenants from soaring rents.

    But that concession didn’t halt the movement. Last Saturday saw a mobilisation of a quarter of a million in Madrid. Many demonstrators, and the tenants union, were calling for a general strike.

    The protestors have been highly critical of the housing policies of Spanish governments of both right and left, both national and local. The protests have met with support from left-wing political parties, including Sanchez’s ruling Socialist Party and with open hostility from the right-wing Peoples Party and the far right Vox. Protestors chanting ‘Here are the anti-fascists’ had to hold off a fascist attempt to break up one of the camps.

    It was the People’s Party and Vox, aided by the centre right Together for Catalonia, that blocked the parliamentary ratification of the Spanish government’s relief measures three days ago. That fuelled even more protests which spread to cities across the country and led to further calls for a general strike in defence of housing rights and against property speculators.

    The political crisis was so intense that Sanchez took the gamble to try and break the parliamentary deadlock with a new election. It’s a high stakes move. The Socialist Party are trailing in most polls and many are fearful that Vox and the populist right will win the contest. That would end one of the few social democratic governments in Europe and give the far right a boost across the continent."

  8. We take a look at what exactly French high school students are demanding in their nationwide blockades. From crumbling buildings, to absent teachers who are not replaced, to applying to university, we take a look at what has created so much anger among French teens. We also draw parallels between this movement and that of the Yellow Vests.

Speaking with FRANCE 24's Mark Owen, Ariane Bogain, Senior Lecturer in French Politics at Northumbria University, says that "there is a definite issue with violence and we need to ask why there is this unidimensional reaction which is aggressive, which is riot police, which is repressive".

  17. Speaking with FRANCE 24's Mark Owen, Javier Carbonell, Policy Analyst at the European Policy Centre, says that Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has chosen "the best moment in a sea of troubles" to call snap elections as he is likely to capitalise on the mobilisation of left-wing voters during the nationwide housing protests. Sanchez on Monday called an early election for November 29.

  18. #BreakingNews - Violent Arrests Underway at #Lochiel #TreeSit: #GrandmotherCottonwood Cut Down -- '#NoBorderWall'

    The Last Remaining Grandmother Cottonwood Cut Down Just Now after Violent Arrests at NO Border Wall Tree Sit in Lochiel

    By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, Oct. 5, 2026

    #LochielAZ -- "After violent arrests at the tree sit in Lochiel this morning, the last remaining grandmother cottonwood was cut down. Screams could be heard during violent arrests around the tree that many have come to love. #Oodham women joined in the dramatic #protests, standing in front of massive #BorderWall construction trucks.

    "Laiken Jordahl said, 'Just horrible footage of #DHS contractors toppling the last of four #AncientCottonwoods to build double border walls across the #SanRafaelValley.The wall cuts through the key remaining #WildlifeCorridor for #endangered #jaguars between Arizona and #Sonora, where human border crossings are seldom seen.'

    " 'A #ProtestCamp had occupied and protected this tree for more than 60 days, halting construction. The camp was raided and campers were arrested this morning."

    " 'This wall will effectively lock the remaining jaguars in the U.S. into solitary confinement, while permanently marring one of the last remaining #WildPlaces along the Arizona border.'

    "Screams can be heard as a woman is attacked and thrown to the ground in a violent raid on the Lochiel tree sit at the border, east of #NogalesAZ.

    " 'You're stepping on her!'

    " 'There's barbed wire there!'

    " 'Come now! US #BorderPatrol illegal and violently invaded camp. Multiple violent arrests. Camp standing strong against genocide and tyranny,' was the alert from #TierraLibre, #NoBorders this morning."

    Student protests: what to expect on October 6 day of action
  21. I am in Birmingham. Tories conference seems to be going on, so there is plenty of police around.

    Overheard a couple speaking Czech:

    "Do you think there will be a Palestinian protest here? I would really want to watch them arresting grannies for terrorism!"

    Forget Buckingham Palace and Tower Bridge. This seems to be the newest tourists attraction of Britain.
