Thousands join Paris protests as authorities clamp down on disorder
Thousands of protesters are on the streets of Paris for a second weekend as French authorities ban demonstrations in central areas following violence last weekend.
French authorities have banned demonstrations in central areas of Paris following violence during last weekend's protests. Some 70,000 police have been deployed across France to maintain order and prevent further disorder during the ongoing demonstrations.
The protests mark the second consecutive weekend of demonstrations in the French capital, with thousands of people taking to the streets despite the increased police presence and restrictions on where they can gather.
Al Jazeera's Virginia Pietromarchi is reporting from Paris as the situation develops, with tensions remaining high between protesters and authorities.
