Police in the French capital have outlawed a torchlight procession by the extreme-right organisation Paris Pride that was planned for Saturday but deemed a "major threat to public order". Several marches involving Yellow Vest protestors are also set to take place ahead of the government's presentation of plans for pension reform.
Details of the controversial pension reform plan will be published on Tuesday. The proposed changes, which include pushing the retirement age from 62 to 65, have been opposed by leftwing politicians, by the far right and the trade unions.
