FRANCE YELLOW VESTS LATEST: PROTEST CALLS FOR SATURDAY AND FOR PARIS ON NEW YEARS EVE

The call is out for protesters to gather again tomorrow (Saturday December 29th) in cities across France with limited numbers expressing their support on social media.

Lille, Lyon, Toulouse and Paris are listed as sites for protest tomorrow with prominent figures in the Yellow Vests movement joining a protest in Marseille.

But there is greater interest in a gathering on the Champs-Elysees on New Years Eve for a "festive and non violent" Yellow Vests event.

The city of Paris is going ahead with its planned light shows on New Year's Eve capped by a 20 minute show to bring in the New Year with lights projected onto the Arc de Triomphe.

Police intend to create a security perimeter around the center of Paris from 4 pm December 31st through 3 am January 1st.   Everyone entering the area will be checked by police.
