French police fired tear gas under a rain of projectiles, used water cannon to douse a fire and arrested several people as thousands of "yellow vest" anti-government protesters returned to the streets of Paris this afternoon. This was the latest of the weekly demonstrations held every Saturday by the yellow vest movement since November 2018, and which have been boosted by opposition to the pension reforms. IMAGES
