00:00Here on the streets of Paris, protesters have got gout for a major day of demonstrations
00:04to protest against the cost of living crisis, rising fuel prices, and against conditions in French schools.
00:12This follows demonstrations which occurred last weekend,
00:15where peaceful protests descended into scenes of violence across the country,
00:20with mass looting and clashes with the police occurring.
00:24Here, since I've been here, I've heard chants against the police, chants against the Hard Right National Rally Party.
00:31So there's lots of chants, signs, but for now, things have remained peaceful as protesters file in.
00:38To date, according to the Interior Ministry, 135 people have been detained in France.
00:44This comes as the government has implemented a mass security apparatus across the country,
00:49which it says is necessary to avoid the scenes that occurred last week.
