Security forces prepare for protests in France as shops are boarded up

Shopfronts being boarded up in Paris give Sky News' latest reporting a concrete focus: how France is preparing for another weekend of protests over living costs and the state of schools. International correspondent Alex Rossi covers the security preparations in two new reports, with authorities mobilizing personnel nationwide and major attractions set to close.

Those reports arrive toward the end of a week of sixteen uploads. The most watched was "Has Trump stopped supporting Ukraine? | Michael Clarke analysis", which has passed half a million views. With presenter Gareth Barlow, Clarke examines missing missile warnings and argues that the withholding of intelligence represents deliberate American pressure on Ukraine to accept Trump's peace plan. It is Clarke's assessment, and the distinction matters: the segment makes an argument about policy, rather than announcing a confirmed change.

Clarke's discussion remains among the channel's busiest videos, alongside Rossi's report on boarded-up shops. An older report about a fatal tiger attack at Yorkshire Wildlife Park is drawing the most daily views of the three.

Across Sky News, daily viewing is above its usual level, though the subscriber total was unchanged over the week. Nearby in size, VICE News is having a slower-than-usual viewing day; The Wall Street Journal is above its customary pace.

The week's coverage also looks beyond immediate security concerns. A NASA briefing outlines plans for Artemis III to test critical systems in low Earth orbit before future lunar landings, a useful distinction for viewers expecting the mission itself to reach the moon's surface.
