pockets of anger soon erupted all over the place pitch battles with the thousands of extra police out to guard a city practically in lockdown. to triomphe off bombs. on a narrow side street a crowd tries to penetrate the barricade police fire back with tear gas. it takes just seconds to send them coughing and gasping for air. elsewhere it was rules is rather than riot control peaceful protesters began filling into the streets of paris before dawn and they brought with them their complaints over high taxes and low wages for the people struggling most in france on an upward you're not we're here to tell michael about our discontent i'm not here to break things because i have four children so i'm going to try and be safe for them because they're afraid i want to go back home tonight but i still want to be here to say stop that's enough this has to stop forty percent of our show the

french people are milk cows for two years we've been milk cows we're taxed too much everything is wrong there isn't even any security everything in france is not ok. the interior minister was up early to meeting place not protesters. violence is never a way of protesting the government held out a hand made a number of proposals has made efforts one of the symbolic measures that triggered the protests at the beginning was the petrol tax which has been scrapped so it won't happen now we have to get around the table and talk a little bit over it as we do. back in the merely police pluck protesters from the crowd official say hundreds have been arrested so far as the government strains to bring the me him under control. for more let's bring in our correspondent lisa

lewis who's in paris covering this story for us lisa we've seen today of protests gradually escalate at the day goes on what's been going on. well there have been clashes across paris at different locations in paris you know purchases have clashed with police police of with tear gas there were a car burns a few shops looted as well but compared to what happened last saturday this is really not as much as that day you know there are the protests are a lot more under control i'm here at the shows an easy the sounds uneasy has been not completely blocked off but the police around this street have been filtering the demonstrators and they've been taking away anything that protesters could use as myside and also their most of their protective gear so here the situation has been a lot calmer if you can even if you can now at this moment here some tear gas bombs

again off in the background but that's really nothing compared to last week but despite the massive police presence there we've we've seen more violence still why is that. absolutely because you know the police can't just block off the entire city they have changed strategy last week they did what they normally do doing precious and fast that is keep a distance you know try to disperse them with lots of tear gas but they didn't really move forward that much today as you said earlier they have arrested apparently more than one thousand people and that's also because they're operating differently they've got different little squads that are actually going at the protesters trying to identify the instigators and to arrest them so it's been a different strategy there has been violence obviously but the violence has been a bit more contained the last week. now the government has responded to these protests and they conceded if you will they're going to scrap this tax that

everyone's so angry about so why the protests ongoing. well the pressures were triggered. by an announced rise in fuel taxes but that was only the trigger the underlying anger is still there the government has now reacted to their demands to that main demand and some other small taxes but for exam they said that electricity and gas prices wouldn't go up next year but now other practices say it's too little too late really they should have reacted more quickly and now the demonstrators are asking for more they're asking for higher minimum wage they're also asking for taxes to go down in general and there's a wealth tax that was abolished a few months back last year and many of the protesters are now asking for the government to put back. tax back in place so it looks like their demands have grain and then asking the government to do more. lethal lewis in the heart of paris thank
