Police and protesters clashed in Paris during nationwide anti-government demonstrations organised by the 'Block Everything' group, leading to bins being set on fire and traffic disruption. At least 132 people were arrested in Paris, with nearly 200 arrests reported across France, as part of protests against the political class and proposed budget cuts. The demonstrations follow the French parliament's no-confidence vote against Prime Minister Francois Bayrou on Monday, leading President Emmanuel Macron to appoint Sebastien Lecornu as his fifth prime minister.
