Anti-vaccination protesters and other demonstrators against Covid-19 restrictions in France clashed with the police in central Paris, leading anti-riot forces to use teargas, BTM Television reports.

Beyond Paris, protests were expected to take place in cities such as Marseille, Montpellier, Nantes and Toulouse as French lawmakers are due to vote this weekend on a bill drafted by the government aimed at setting up a health pass and mandatory vaccination for health workers.
