Yellow vest protests: More than 100 arrested as violence returns to Paris

With many clad in black and wearing masks to hide their faces, rioters in parts of the city burned barricades, vandalised banks, set rubbish bins on fire and hurled cobblestones at police.The nationwide protests were intended to send a message to French President Emmanuel Macron, whose government has been accused of ignoring the needs of ordinary citizens.

"We're here even if Macron doesn't like it," demonstrators chanted as they marched through Paris on Saturday.At the Place d'Italie today, in south-east Paris, the rioters were out again. They burned barricades, smashed the front of a bank, defaced a World War Two memorial; and they flung stones and rocks at police, who responded with clouds and clouds of tear gas.

Elsewhere in the city, demonstrators and police clashed near the Porte de Champerret, close to the Arc de Triomphe.

How a rugby game became a battle against apartheidViolence marred a peaceful anti-apartheid protest 50 years ago and sent shockwaves around the world. nobody likes welsh people ..Awh in South Africa 'Violence marred a peaceful anti-apartheid protest...'🤔 The BBC only hires leftist idiots. South Africa was a first world country with a nuclear program and pioneering hospitals, now it's a violent mess. I was there. Sixteen years old and told that demonstrations would solve nothing. Well, we fought hard to stop apartheid and it worked. We got the nukes out of Greenham Common and, please god, it might stop Brexit, too!
