behind me, the arc de triomphe, the scene of the arc de triomphe, the scene of the terrible violence from last saturday, abalone, the elysee palace, where macron is watching these events with great attention —— baloney. the gendarme for the first time in decades had to deal with this —— baloney. this is the day the government has to get things right. if there's escalation again today, we are in difficult and uncharted territory. police here are meeting and a costing the various groups of yellow vest is beginning to arrive already, all perfectly good humoured so already, all perfectly good humoured so far, they are searching bags and so on so far, they are searching bags and so on for projectiles so people don't arrive at the triomphe with stuff in their bag. they say there's a new tactic on the part of the gendarme today —— arc de triomphe. they say they were too static, positioned in single positions which prevented them meeting the protesters and they gave the protesters and they gave the protesters the run of the land if you like. this time they're going to be much mor

the arc de triomphe this afternoon. groups of yellow—vest protesters have pushed past police and rampaged past the tomb of the unknown soldier. all day, there have been scenes of serious violence in the streets around, mainly agitators of the far right and left in the thick of it, taking on police with cobblestones and other projectiles, setting fire to cars and even buildings. it is an extremely tense situation now, mid—afternoon, we have been chased down a side street by riot police with tear gas and anti—riot grenades, a car is on firejust behind me. we're just off the champs—elysees, it is a real scene of street warfare. amid the scenes of destruction, ordinary people who'd come from across france to demonstrate peaceably. they do not want the violence to divert attention from their message that taxes in france have gone too far. translation: abraham lincoln said something important, he said that government should be of the people, by the people, for the people. for the people. 0ur politicians should keep th

de triomphe, that there were the clashes with police. all morning we have seen hundreds and hundreds of yellowjackets gathering here on the avenue, and then pushing up towards the arc de triomphe, which you can see behind us shrouded in tear gas. the more daring go to the front where there are clashes going on with riot police, the others hang back where we are now. most of the marchers kept well away from the violence and expressed in words their anger and determination. translation: the problem is much bigger than just a few tax. that was just the straw that broke the camel‘s back. the distress has been brewing for years, it is time to make ourselves felt. translation: we are simple citizens, simple french citizens. it is the people who are rebelling, no political parties here. translation: we thought we were seeing the beginnings of a dialogue between the yellow vests and the government, but with all of this that‘s totally wrecked. now the yellow vests are going to keep going to the bitter end. it‘s civil war. the numbers of pro

damage was caused to shops and the arc de triomphe was daubed with graffiti. talks between the presidents of the united states and china about their trade dispute have ended after two and a half hours without comment. the two men held a working dinner after the 620 summit in buenos aires. that finished with a call to reform the world trade organisation. mexico's new president, andres manuel lopez obrador, has been sworn in. he pledged to end what he called failed neoliberal policies that have led to an increase in poverty and mass migration. he also announced the creation of a huge free trade zone next to the border with the united states. now on bbc news, as part of our 100 women series, we travel to el salvador. the country is the worst in the world for the killing of women and girls on account of their gender. we explore why femicide is such a problem there, and what is being done about it. this programme contains some language and images you may find disturbing. el salvador is considered one of the world's most violent countries. it has one of the highest

from the arc de triomphe to republic, boulevards once built to open the veins of the city filled with tear gas, firecrackers and riot police. on the champs—elysees this morning, the mood was largely peaceful — protesters arriving here from across france caught up in a familiar dance of conflict with police. police are just pushing the protesters back down out of this side street onto the champs—elysees, they have been pushing them up and down this street all morning and the tension is starting to rise. the police were well prepared for this confrontation, with armoured vehicles, new tactics and bag searches, seizing gas masks and helmets and anything that could be used against police. the tear gas, far stronger than usual, took many protesters by surprise. and rapid reaction squads marked out by orange arm bands were stationed among the protesters to spot trouble and make early arrests. translation: since the start of the demonstrations there have actually been more injuries on the side of the security forces than on the side of the protesters because the idea is to contain thin

the focus became, once again, the area around the arc de triomphe and here there were the first signs of trouble — a crowd goading riot police, police responding with tear gas and moving out to retake ground, keep the crowd moving. the riot police have moved out from a side street to take up a position along the avenue here. you can see them standing at the ready, and they're being insulted, booed, had the occasional projectile thrown at them by the crowd around. most of the yellow vests kept well back from the trouble spots. all they wanted was to get their message out. translation: emmanuel macron has to step down. the parliament should be dissolved and we have to return to better foundations. everything should be fair, because we're fed up. as the morning wore on, it was clear that so far, the government's worst fears had not been realised. the prime minister, edouard philippe, appeared on television to announce there'd been more than 200 arrests, and to emphasise again the exceptional scale of the police operation that's been mounted, both in paris and across the country. a comb

demonstrators also scrawled anti—macron graffiti on structures, including the arc de triomphe. at the 620 in argentina, the french president condemned the violence, much of which, the authorities believe, was caused by extremists from both the left and right. translation: what happened today in paris has nothing to do with the peaceful expression of a legitimate anger. no cause justifies that authorities attacked, that businesses are plundered, that passers—by orjournalists are threatened or that the arc de triomphe is defiled. what began two weeks ago was a peaceful protest by the so—called ‘yellow vest‘ movement against rising fuel taxes has now evolved into a far broader show of anti—government anger. later on his return to france, emmanuel macron will convene an urgent meeting with his prime minister and other senior officials to address the situation. but on the ground in paris, the cleanup has already begun. time for many to survey the damage and try to understand how a peaceful march could turn into such a dark day of destruction for the city of light. bill hay

i must admit i was in paris recently with my three young boys and we were whizzing around the arc de triomphe, up and jumbo champs—elysees, doing tourist stuff and it is shocking what is going on. the level of protest. it is different this time as well, it is different this time as well, it is an sort of led by unions and it is an sort of led by unions and it is regular protesters, a different feel. it does, and that is why macron flew back and hold an emergency meeting because what started as very peaceful protest and what started as a protest against the rise in the duty against diesel, it has clearly taken a darker turn. it is unfortunate because you have marked people running through the streets that have been prepared for violence —— masked. ai carrying little vials of eyedrops to cou ntera ct little vials of eyedrops to counteract against teargas and are prepared to vandalise and destroy the city. it has been happening. we have seen photographs of various really important part of france... hundreds of people have been hurt, people have been hospitalised, people have been
