Riot police have been using tear gas to quell high school student protests across France today, as pupils joined in the nationwide 'yellow vest' protests against the Macron-government's policies.

Video footage shows teenagers fleeing from police tear gas in Orleans earlier today, while cars were set on fire outside a high school in the Paris suburb of Aubervilliers, where seven students were arrested following a walk-out this morning.

Around 1,000 pupils, many wearing high-vis vests, demonstrated in the city of Nice, and photographs from another student protest in Bordeaux appear to show riot police using batons against teenagers.

Hundreds of schools across the country have today been totally or partially blocked by students piggybacking on the 'yellow vest' demonstrations to air frustration over new university entrance requirements.
