Clashes with police in several French cities during Saturday protests
Fewer people turned out for Saturday's protests in France than in previous weeks, but several cities saw clashes between police and demonstrators, Deutsche Welle reports.
Several French cities saw clashes between police and demonstrators on Saturday, according to Deutsche Welle. The broadcaster says turnout was lower than in previous weeks.
Two major protests had been announced. Unions and student groups planned to march against high living costs. The Yellow Vests planned a separate march despite a ban by authorities. Deutsche Welle calls it a police ban. France 24 says the Yellow Vests planned a rally in central Paris and urged "mass disobedience."
France 24 says the protests follow weeks of youth-led unrest and nationwide strikes. It says hundreds of thousands of workers joined those strikes over the rising cost of living.
