FRANCE YELLOW VESTS WEEK 47:  THOUSANDS ON THE STREETS AGAIN





Last Saturday's protests drew crowds estimated to be at least 15,947 strong at more than 100 locations across France.

Events going on around the Yellow Vests include the Lubrizol plant fire in Rouen with concerns about pollution and health problems caused by the fire and the seemingly slow response of the government.

And then Thursday's attack by a police IT employee on his fellow employees at the police headquarters in Paris with four dead, one wounded.

The attacker shot dead and it turns out he converted to Islam in 2008 and had justified the Paris terrorist attacks of 2015.   The anti-terrorism police investigating the case.

Looking forward there are plans for a one year anniversary of the Yellow Vests protests to be observed Saturday November 16th and Sunday November 17th across France.
