FRANCE LIVE | Paris Erupts In Protest Chaos As 1,200 Arrested, Buildings Torched And Looting Spreads

Violence broke out across France on Saturday during the latest day of demonstrations against hardship in schools and the cost of living. At least 1,200 people were arrested during what the French government described as an "escalation in violence" alongside an estimated 550,000 taking to the streets. In Paris, there were significant clashes into the evening with riot police, who used tear gas and water cannon on crowds. Buildings were set alight in the capital and other areas, including in Limoges where a large fire in the town hall caused the roof to partly collapse.#france #paris #parisprotest n18oc_crux | n18oc_world CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
