Yellow Vests in Rouen as the street fills with tear gas.
Demonstrations quickly spiralled out of control in the northern French city on Saturday as protesters and riot police clashed in the streets of the picturesque town.
Journalist Simon Louvet, who is in Rouen, tweeted: “The GJ (Gilet Jaunes) are in the streets around Jeanne D’Arc Street and are gassed, they flee running and regroup.”are gassed, they flee running and regroup.”
The protesters also set fire to the entrance of the local office of the Bank of France, the country’s central bank.
Away from the violence, a large group of protesters also marched through the streets, waving French flags and chanting slogans.
Paris, the scene of the most dramatic demonstrations since the rallies began in November, was significantly quieter than previous weeks but it also saw dozens of Yellow Vests gathered on Champs-Elysees on Saturday.
On Thursday, a group of the protesters attempted to storm the Mediterranean castle that serves as President Emmanuel Macron’s summer retreat.
The weeks of demonstrations have polarized France. The movement began as rallies against fuel-price hikes, but it soon morphed into nationwide protests against government policies.
The fuel hikes were scrapped by the government but people have continued to demand more concessions, including lower taxes and even Macron’s resignation.

With Washington paralyzed due to a partial government shutdown sparked by budget squabbles, the House Democratic leader is leading the #Resistance against Donald Trump and his border wall… by vacationing at a fancy resort in Hawaii. According to reports, Pelosi has been spotted at Hawaii’s Fairmont Orchid resort, where rooms prices start from $899 to $4,899 for the presidential suite.

“With the House Majority, Democrats will act swiftly to end the Trump Shutdown, and will fight for a strategic, robust national security policy, including strong and smart border security, and strong support for our servicemembers and veterans,” Drew Hammill, Pelosi’s deputy chief of staff, said Friday.
Pelosi’s hard-working staff are apparently forbidden from speaking about her Hawaii getaway, however.
Her trip to paradise elicited strong reactions among conservatives on Twitter, who accused the Democrat of not taking her job seriously.
“Pelosi spends government shutdown in Hawaii. Media silent. Trump spends government shutdown visiting the troops in Iraq. Media explodes,” conservative columnist and commentator Todd Starnes wrote.

The clip shows the transgender demanding his “fucking money back” before a woman off camera refers to the individual as a “young man”.
“Excuse me, it’s ma’am, it is ma’am,” barks the transgender before the woman threatens to call the police.
The transgender then accuses the store clerk of calling him “sir,” despite this not being heard on the video until the clerk does subsequently refer to the biological male as “sir”.
He then becomes increasingly irate before yelling, “motherfucker – take it outside – you wanna call me sir again, I will show you a fucking sir!”
“Motherfucker!” shouts the transgender before kicking over a display stand and walking towards the exit.
However, despite the clerk repeatedly apologizing, the transgender returns to continue the argument, demanding the company’s corporate phone number to complain about how he’s been “misgendered several times in this store”.
“I’m gonna ask you for a fifth time to stop calling me a man, because quite literally I am not,” the transgender asserts.
The clerk then again refers to the individual as “sir,” probably on purpose, which causes him to become even more angry.
As the individual leaves, he accuses the clerk of “disrespecting trans people in this store….which I plan on telling the entire LGBTQ community.”
“You’re going to lose money over this,” the transgender states before leaving the store.
It is not known where the confrontation took place. It was posted to Twitter by political commentator Ryan Fournier. The possibility remains that the whole scene was a fake prank, although it looks pretty authentic.

Video footage shows motorcycle troopers overwhelmed by protestors as tear gas canisters and projectiles fly near Champs-Élysées.
Some officers deploy pepper spray, while one draws his service weapon and aims it at the advancing crowd.
French officials have blasted the attack on police, with Prime Minister Edouard Philippe tweeting, “Assaults of unprecedented violence against police officers . . . It is out of the question to trivialize such actions which must be the subject of unanimous condemnation and criminal sanctions.”
However, footage depicting the moments leading up to the confrontation give broader context.
The officers in question can be seen throwing flashbang grenades toward a crowd who appear to be moving in a non-threatening fashion along Champs-Élysées.
Some in the throng react to the provocation, and eventually the officers are forced to flee amid a hail of flying objects.
Notably, many in the mob are not wearing yellow vests, indicating they may be opportunists capitalizing on the chaos.

The boy’s mother Catarina Alonzo told Reuters that bringing children is the easiest way for migrants to be accepted into the US. According to the Washington Post, the smugglers also charge less than half the price if a child is accompanying the adult “knowing that migrants can turn themselves in to border agents and will soon be released.”
“Lots of them have gone with children and managed to cross, even if they’re held for a month or two. But they always manage to get across easily,” Alonzo told Reuters.
Guatemala’s foreign ministry is warning that coyotes and human traffickers are using President Trump’s plan to build a wall along the border to urge migrants to take their chances now.
“According to interviews (with migrants), the coyotes are saying ‘it’s now or never’ because the wall is going to be built, and it won’t be possible to cross,” the spokeswoman told Reuters.
The boy is the second child to die this month after being dragged along on the dangerous trip. An official cause of death has not yet been made public.
Now, the family is asking that they let the boy’s father stay and work in the US so that his “death won’t be in vain.”

The men tied up and robbed the monks in a brutal attack. As a result at least five victims are seriously injured.
Afterwards, the suspects fled the scene. The victims were discovered around 4:15 pm and had already been tied up for several hours.
The two perpetrators attacked the church around 1:30 pm. According to Russia Today:
“Police have confirmed that five people, all of them monks, were injured in the attack. One monk suffered serious injuries. A 68-year-old monk was at the premises of the church when the robbers broke in. They threatened the man with a firearm and forced him to lie on the ground.
“The perpetrators then hit him and trampled upon him, inflicting serious head injuries, the Austrian Kronen Zeitung reports. Four more monks, who arrived at the church later, were also attacked and injured, police spokesman Harald Soeroes told Kronen Zeitung.
“The suspects are still on the run, their identities unknown. Soeroes described one of the suspects as a 5.9-feet tall man with dark hair. “Both men speak German and have a foreign accent,” the police spokesman said.”
A Huge police operation started immediately and a Cobra helicopter is circling the area. The area between Langenzersdorferstraße, Anton-Böck-Straße and Krottenhofgasse was cordoned off in a large scale operation. “Please avoid the restricted area and let our colleagues work locally,” the police warned via Twitter.
Currently, according to the investigators there is no suspicion of terrorism, but the exact motive is still unknown. However, according to reports, one of the perpetrators has been behaving suspiciously for days around the church.
Police special forces of WEGA and tactical unit Cobra have come into action.
“According to the currently available information, all the people injured as a result of the attack by unknown persons are staff of the Catholic church. The preliminary information indicates that it was a robbery. We are checking whether there are Russian citizens among those injured,” the embassy’s spokesman Bulat Haydarov told Sputnik.
