France protests escalate: Paris school torched, teen maimed by grenade ahead of 'Day of Rage'

Student protests in France have entered a second week, with violence escalating: a Paris high school was set ablaze, clashes in Toulouse left a 15-year-old with a hand lost to a grenade, and police in Lille confronted youths. Authorities admit loss of control over instigators, while opposition blames Mélenchon's far-left party for encouraging violence. The planned 'Day of Rage' tomorrow raises risk of further escalation.
