Scores arrested in first yellow vest protest since France's lockdown

PolicePolice in Paris have arrested more than 200 people during the first 'yellow vest' protest since the start of France's coronavirus outbreak, reports Sky News.

The last Gilets Jaunes demonstration had taken place on 14 March - three days before France went into lockdown.

Officers in riot gear have already fired tear gas at demonstrators along the Avenue de Wagram in Paris's 17th arrondissement, while another march takes place outside the capital's stock exchange.

Police have banned demonstrations spreading to the nearby Champs Elysées after its famous Arc de Triomphe monument was defaced during previous yellow vest marches - but crowds were still expected to gather there later.
