French authorities plan to deploy 70,000 officers across the country as hundreds of protests are expected, according to a live report from The Guardian. The report, written by Frances Mao, said hundreds of thousands of people are expected at rallies across the country, including high school students and unionists. The Guardian's headline described the effort as an attempt to try to prevent "further civil unrest."

The Guardian also reported that protests are expected in Italy, Spain, Austria, Portugal, Albania and Ireland. Its live coverage said it would closely follow demonstrations across the continent.

In Italy, ABC News reported that Italy has deployed soldiers to Milan as the city braces for fresh protests following last week's riots. The outlet's headline described hundreds of soldiers being sent to Milan as protests were planned across Europe. The ABC News item is available here, and its summary does not list an author.

The two sources differ in scope and detail. The Guardian's summary gives a planned figure for France and names several countries where protests are expected, while ABC News's summary gives no count of the soldiers beyond the headline's word "hundreds." Neither summary describes the causes of the planned protests in France or the riots in Milan.

Both accounts are summaries of reporting that describes events as they were unfolding, and the sources do not give the final size of any demonstration or any outcome of the police and military deployments.
