Officials have so far managed to avoid a repeat of last weekend's rioting and looting as hundreds of thousands took part in demonstrations.

Protesters in Albania have fought running battles with police, on a 12th day of anti-government protests.

Authorities had deployed 70,000 security forces across the country for the new marches, which were called, again, to protest the cost of living.

Clashes erupted in Paris as a mass march drew to a close Saturday, with more than 400,000 people rallying across France over school funding and soaring living costs in a fresh challenge to President Emmanuel Macron. Police made nearly 1,000 arrests, the government said.

Hundreds of thousands of demonstrators took to the streets of France as a vastly reinforced security presence appeared to have averted a repeat of last weekend's unrest, despite isolated clashes in several cities.

Police and elite security forces were out in force in French cities as tens of thousands participated in protests on Saturday. The situation turned tense toward the end of protests in several cities, including Paris.
