g1.globo.com (Portuguese) —

France will deploy anti-terrorism police to contain new protests, as cities extend curfews to prevent another wave of violence. The government is mobilizing soldiers from Operation Sentinelle, created after the 2015 terror attacks. In Paris, temporary bans on gasoline and gas containers were imposed, while curfews remain in parts of Lyon, Bordeaux, Nice, and Marseille. A man was arrested in Limoges for allegedly setting fire to a historic city hall, with the case possibly investigated as terrorism. In Lisbon, police removed hundreds of housing-rights protesters, who plan to return Wednesday. Italy will send 500 military personnel to Milan, where over 270 people, mostly minors, were detained after weekend riots. The government proposes holding under-18s for up to 12 hours without charges.
