BBC: French unrest spreads to Reunion
Violence has flared on the French Indian Ocean island of Reunion during demonstrations against high prices.
Police fired tear gas to disperse stone-throwing youths at a protest near Reunion’s capital, Saint-Denis.
Thousands marched across the island to push for a 20% cut in the prices of essential goods and an extra 200 euros (£178) a month for low-paid workers.
The unrest came after unions on the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe had agreed to end a 44-day strike.
