France: Thousands of Yellow Vests hit streets again

AVA- Yellow Vests continued their protests in various French cities for a tenth consecutive week, despite a national debate launched Tuesday by the French President Emmanuel Macron to soothe the protesters' anger and address their demands.
During Saturday's demonstrations, at least 20 people have been detained only in Paris. 
Demonstrators who gathered in the central Paris at noon chanted anti-Macron slogans and denounced the police violence against protesters.
Peaceful protests turned violence during the evening hours as police in Paris fired water cannon and tear gas to repel the protesters who reportedly throw stones and bottles at security forces. 
The tensions between the police and the activists were also recorded in the northern Rouen and Caen cities, as well as in northwestern Rennes and eastern Lyon cities.
Around 7,000 demonstrators were registered in Paris and 27,000 across France, according to the French Ministry of Interior, while 84,000 people participated in the Yellow Vest protests last week.
Some 80,000 security forces were mobilized across the country.
