Paris protest chaos; Trump reverses Russia sanctions; Narrabeen arrest | 7NEWS
Cost-of-living protests in France and Donald Trump's reversal on Russian sanctions supply the international focus of 7NEWS Australia's most-watched new upload. The combined bulletin has drawn roughly 32,000 views, while a separate Paris report follows confrontations between demonstrators and police, including the use of tear gas.
Those two uploads also sit among the channel's busiest videos right now. Between them is a more local concern: young Victorians considering leaving their state. That report draws on Herald Sun-commissioned research and identifies concerns about crime, state debt and job opportunities as reasons respondents are weighing a move.
The week's fifteen uploads weren't entirely devoted to political and economic pressures. An American pumpkin grower's enormous harvest supplied a story about two friends pursuing the same growing ambition. In the Adelaide Hills, meanwhile, hundreds of entrants brought rally cars to an event 7NEWS describes as the Southern Hemisphere's largest tarmac rally.
Across the channel, daily viewing is about two-fifths above its usual level, though the subscriber count was unchanged over seven days. Its roughly 13.6 million added views made this the largest weekly view gain among the nearby broadcasters here, with GBNews close in scale. ITV News also had elevated daily viewing and added subscribers. For 7NEWS, the most active recent uploads connect overseas unrest with questions Australians are asking about life closer to home.
