Fresh protests across France

Our reporter Chris Bachman is standing by for us. Chris, good afternoon to you. So what's it looking like there in Toulouse today? Indeed, just a week ago, it was pretty violent. There was 35,000, according to the police, 80,000, according to the organisers. And there was a lot of looting at the end of the march. There was a lot of tear gases fired. And so the police have really stepped up and they've moved the march away from the city centre. They're moving it by the canal near me on purpose to keep it away from the city centre. and they want to keep the people as away from the town hall, the famous Capitol, as possible.

Some of them have got security guards in front of them. At the moment, everything is calm. The cortege is just starting on the new route, keeping them away from the city centre. But with so many people attending this, you just don't know what's going to happen if people break off into different splinter groups. All right, thank you, Chris, for bringing us those updates from Toulouse. We're just going to...
