The protests began at a high school in the Paris region in mid-September have grown into a nationwide movement. Demonstrators have voiced a range of grievances, often centering on a lack of resources and opportunities for students in disadvantaged schools. Students have drawn attention to rundown classrooms that lack basics such as desks and chairs, become sweltering in summer without air conditioning and, in some cases, are infested with rats. Since last week, over 700 police and security officers, and at least 215 students and demonstrators have been injured, according to the Ministry of National Education. In total, 6,547 arrests have been made since September 28, according to the government. More this evening on #WorldNewsTonight. Read more: https://abcworldnewstonight.visitlink.me/tPAOLi

More than a century before today’s billionaire rankings, Forbes was already tracking America’s biggest fortunes. In 1918, founder B.C. Forbes surveyed leading bankers to identify the country’s 30 richest people. John D. Rockefeller topped the list with a $1.2 billion fortune; and was its only billionaire. The 30 richest Americans were collectively worth nearly $3.7 billion at the time.
