Fresh clashes rock France as protesters march on
Nationwide protests in France, led by the 'Yellow Vests' movement and students, have resulted in violent clashes and nearly 1,000 arrests. The demonstrations are fueled by rising costs of living, fuel prices, and dissatisfaction with President Emmanuel Macron's administration.
