Key moments from protests in Paris

(8 Dec 2018) French riot police fired tear gas and water cannons in Paris on Saturday, trying to stop thousands of yellow-vested protesters from converging on the presidential palace to express their anger at high taxes and French President Emmanuel Macron. Security officials imposed a lockdown on parts of central Paris, determined to prevent a repeat of the rioting a week ago that damaged a major monument, injured 130 people and tarnished the country's global image. France's interior minister Christophe Castaner on Saturday said the protest violence the capital was "under control" despite scattered tensions but called it "totally unacceptable." He added "exceptional" security measures allowed nearly police to put nearly 1,000 people in custody. Associated Press reporters witnessed multiple protesters hurt in clashes with police. An AP video journalist was wounded in the leg as police fired tear gas and rubber bullets on the Champs-Elysees.
