You can see here the police are just putting their helmets on. There's a group of protesters that have been throwing flares into this area and the tension is quite clearly rising right now. Scenes like this can be seen across most major cities in France. The videos of the outbreaks of violence, they might be the most striking, but they don't paint the full picture. The large majority of the people out on the streets of France today, they don't want to be involved in that. They're just here to express their sincere concerns. Unfortunately, I think a lot of people are afraid of police violence, but we're here because we need to hear. Known here as the Gilets Jaunes, they've piled in behind the student protests that erupted at the end of September. You can see thousands of people streaming up the road behind me. Some of them are yellow vest protesters, some of them are students. Some are just citizens concerned about what's happening here in France. Why? To end up with a society that destroys the most poor and enriches the most rich. It's the revolution. The yellow vest movement started in 2018, born out of rage at the government over soaring fuel prices. Nine years on and the US attacks against Iran, which caused the subsequent closure of the strait of Hormuz. And what we've been seeing is a huge increase in the cost of petrol again. The price of the carburet is even higher than at the time when there were the Gilets Jaunes. It was 1,80 or 1,60 at the time. And now, it's a big increase in 2,40. Even more, it's a lot of too much. But the demonstrations they're jumping on were started by French students, who say schools aren't functioning because there aren't enough teachers. The biggest problem is the lack of means in education. I think there are schools that are totally deprived of means, deprived of teachers. And I think it's not a way to improve the nation than to neglect youth. In response, the French government has proposed an emergency plan to employ 3,000 stand-in teachers and fix some of the crumbling school buildings. Protesters tell us that's nowhere near enough. A lot of high schools that are not in the capital have been neglected by the national education. Where the money isn't going where it should be, a lot of teachers are fired instead of hiring more. But France's public debt is already massive, at around 120% of the size of its economy. That leaves the government, and President Macron, in his second and final term, little room to manoeuvre. And there's a realistic chance a far-right challenger could replace him after next April's election. There's a movement together, but I think you'll forget one thing, it's that all young people are afraid of the extreme-right. They all are afraid of Le Pen, and we all are afraid of Le Pen. France, it feels tense right now. And the people here in this protest have told us they're building in momentum, not slowing down. The people here in this protest have told us they're building in momentum, not slowing down, not slowing down, not slowing down, not slowing down, not slowing down, not slowing down, not slowing down, not slowing down, not slowing down, not slowing down, not slowing down, not slowing down, not slowing down, not slowing down.
