8:10 am
we've heard some people have been unable to reach hospitals. other people have simply been too scared to go on the road because they're very worried about coming across these barricades. and these are located now. the unrest began more than a week ago. it began as a strike, a demonstration against the cove. it helped past and again, mandatory vaccinations for health workers, but it is simply spiraled into something so much. baker is many people who used to not use the opportunity to voice their grievances against the french government over the social and economic situation in what we were talking about as property, high unemployment figures and a feeling amongst many people in port luther, they are simply ignored by the government and metropolitan frog, and that they are treated by our 2nd call citizens by powers, i will advise, has been compounded by the fact that the french government has not yet sent
