Rubbish on fire, arrests at Place de la Republique in Paris | AFP

Government

A fire at Place de la Republique in Paris is quickly extinguished by firefighters before law enforcement detain several protesters as they take to the streets in a show of grassroots opposition to President Emmanuel Macron. The demonstrations, led by a loose left-wing collective under the slogan "Block Everything", are a baptism of fire for France's new Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu, 39, a close ally of Macron and defence minister for the past three years.
