Video insights

@c4news's TikTok video "Why are Gen Z protesters out on the streets across the world? France has just been rocked by some of its worst rioting in modern history. Thousands have been arrested, young people locked down under curfew and buildings set on fire. President Emmanuel Macron condemned the violence and said rioters would be brought to justice. But this extends beyond France. In Belgium, students are on the streets primarily over education. In Spain and Portugal though, housing’s the trigger. And in Italy, it’s the cost of living. It’s even spread as far as Albania - where months of demonstrations turned violent in recent days. Outside of Europe, Morocco, Madagascar and Indonesia have all seen youth-led protests in the past 12 months. And India’s ‘cockroach’ movement of Gen Z protesters has swarmed the country demanding resignations. Watch the full episode of the breakdown on Channel 4 News' YouTube channel.
