Riot police clashed with protesters at the end of what was a largely peaceful march over living standards in Paris on Saturday (October 24), attended by 110,000 people according to the interior ministry.

French police threw tear gas, and protesters launched projectiles. Smoke drifted through the streets and fireworks were fired near officers.

Protesters smashed the store front of an Audi shop, and some people took shelter in a fast food restaurant.

Nationwide, the authorities deployed 10,000 more police and gendarmes than on October 17, when protests descended into some of the worst unrest in France in years.

On Saturday, clashes also broke out in France's second and third cities, Marseille and Lyon.

STORY: Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on Saturday (October 24) joined his supporters at a closing campaign rally in Rio’s Copacabana beach ahead of Sunday’s (October 25) runoff.

Footage showed Lula atop a truck waving the Brazilian flag and touching the hands of supporters who surrounded the vehicle as the rally moved through the street.

In remarks before the start of the rally, Lula told his supporters and his team he was certain he'll win the runoff. "I am telling you, and you can write it down: tomorrow I will be elected President of the Republic once again," he added.

Lula and his opponent senator Flavio Bolsonaro remain about even heading to Sunday's election runoff, a CNT/MDA poll showed on Saturday.

The right-wing senator, the eldest son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, would receive 46.3% of the vote compared with 45% for the leftist Lula, according to the poll. Last week, a poll showed Bolsonaro leading Lula 46.8% to 45.9%.
