People walk by a burnt newsagent's shop on the Champs Elysees, in Paris, France. More than 200 protesters were detained, nearly 80 shops and restaurants were torched, looted, or vandalised during the yellow vests demonstration on March 16. So-called yellow vests protests, named after the obligatory attribute of French cars, started in mid-November 2018 and have evolved into a large-scale movement against government policies and rising living costs.
