00:04Here in Paris, we can hear helicopters swirling above us.
00:08That's just one of the many measures which was implemented today
00:11as part of the demonstrations which took place as the Interior Ministry and Government
00:16said that they wanted to avoid any of the scenes of violence which occurred last weekend.
00:21Protests which took place in France, in Paris and across the country today were largely peaceful.
00:27There were some clashes which broke out here in the Port de Vincennes, located on the eastern border of the
00:34Paris suburbs
00:35where protesters and some individuals clashed with the police.
00:39There were also some clashes in other French cities including in places where protests had in fact been banned,
00:46such as the city of Lyon. According to the Interior Minister, what happened was later in the day
00:52groups which he described as linked to the ultra-left came and caused chaos.
00:57Of course, we are waiting for the finer details to be able to decipher what actually happened
01:01and to gather testimony from those here.
01:04At present, the police has arrested nearly a thousand people according to the Interior Minister as well.
01:11He said that this number will only go up. That's far above the figures of those who were arrested last
01:16weekend.
01:17It's worth also noting that separately, although some clashes did occur here, many protesters have,
01:22over the course of this movement, called out what they qualify as disproportionate measures used by the police
01:28as rights groups have accused the police of using brutal methods.
01:32Now that they were married from the police in the UPDES have killed by the police!
01:32But of course, it's all the time.

01:35Thanks for that, we should thank UPDES!
01:35Hold on to us, please feel free yourself, and invite people join us,
01:38and the para-佐 hadi station at home.
