Live coverage of a protest march in Paris against high living costs, rising fuel prices, public spending cuts and poor school conditions and teacher shortages.
PARIS - "Yellow Vests" call for protests again following two weekend protests that drew tens of thousands to the streets including students, teachers and other workers.
Live from central Paris where students take to the streets to demand improved school and education conditions, and against the government. It comes after a demonstration ban by French authorities put in place after a weekend of violent clashes and looting - it was later lifted.
France is preparing for another day of demonstrations on Saturday, with 70,000 police officers being deployed to prevent a repeat of the violence that erupted during protests earlier this month.
Reuters reported that the rallies, coinciding with Halloween, are being organised by students, trade unions and members of the Yellow Vest movement over rising living costs, fuel prices and deteriorating public services.
Authorities have warned of a high risk of violence, particularly as some gatherings could continue into the night.
In a development, France's top court has overturned a lower court's decision allowing protesters to march from Bastille to Place de la Nation in central Paris.
French President Emmanuel Macron said on Thursday that "illegitimate" protests would be banned in the coming days, ⁠while those from organised groups such as unions would be offered alternative paths for the marches to protect businesses. The government has said it will put French soldiers in the street after rioting and looting broke out on the fringes of mass peaceful demonstrations over the weekend.

French President Emmanuel Macron said he would convene a defence council meeting on Friday ahead of mass demonstrations planned for 24 October, following weekend protests that erupted into some of the country’s worst street violence in years.
The French president said only demonstrations organised by trade unions would be authorised nationwide on Saturday. He added that prefects, the government’s regional representatives, could ban unauthorised gatherings, particularly those organised by groups lacking the “legitimacy” to do so.
Macron also condemned what he described as “sedition” by far-left groups, warning they posed a “grave danger” to the Republic. He denounced the “criminal acts” committed during the unrest and called for “extreme measures” in response.
