Police officers in Paris have used tear gas to break up anti-government demonstrators after crowds started to gather in the streets ahead of a busy afternoon of events and protests in the French capital.
More than 7,000 officers are to be deployed for rallies today over fears that yellow vest protesters could try to infiltrate a march against climate change which is also planned.
This morning police in riot gear were moving quickly to disperse those around the Champs-Elysees avenue, Saint-Lazare train station and Madeleine plaza - areas where protests have been banned this weekend.
Most demonstrators didn't wear the fluorescent vests that gave the movement its name and authorities said more than 100 people have been arrested and 596 security controls have been implemented.
