Independent:
An army of 1,000 police officers moved once again last night into the town of Villiers-le-Bel, 12 miles north of Paris. A huge police presence on Tuesday night, led by the Prime Minister Francois Fillon in person, helped to reduce the violent protests to a handful of car burnings.
A few similar incidents were reported once again last night but none of the mass confrontations with police seen on Monday.
To the relief of the French government, there was once again little sign of the violent protests spreading to other parts of the Paris suburbs, and other French cities, as they did two years ago. A number of cars were burned and a library set alight in a poor district of Toulouse on Tuesday. No serious incidents were reported elsewhere in France in the early part of last night.
