New 'avoid' France travel warning as Foreign Office changes advice

A fresh travel warning has been issued for people travelling to France after a string of "violent" protests in the country's capital city.

The UK Foreign Office regularly updates its guidance in a bid to keep people safe when travelling abroad. On Thursday, June 29, the government department issued a new alert and told anyone visiting Paris to "avoid" the protests.

People have taken to the city's streets after police shot dead a 17-year-old who failed to stop his car. Videos on social media show a police officer pointing a gun at the car, and the officer has since been detained on homicide charges, the BBC reports.
