New Year's Eve was sad. It was not good in France. It was not good in the Netherlands.
There was more fighting. Things were broken. The police saw many problems.
Cars were burned. People hurt helpers. Helpers like police were attacked. This made the night feel bad.
In France, many cars burned. The leaders said it was less than last year. But police worked a lot. Many people were stopped. Some went to jail.
Police got fireworks thrown at them. This was not safe. Paris and other cities had trouble.
The Netherlands also had hard times. Police said the fighting was very bad. Police were attacked. Fireworks caused bad things. Sadly, two young men died.
New Year's Eve caused big damage. A church caught fire. People were hurt by fireworks. Some children needed help.
This is a big problem. Police and helpers were under pressure. We need to work with people. New years can be destructive.
