Mass strikes against proposed changes to labour laws in France
show no signs of ending, with thousands taking to the streets of
Paris for the sixth day in a row.
Tuesday's rally was part of a series of planned protests called by
unions and student organisations hoping to pressure the French
government into scrapping the planned overhaul.
About 1,000 people have been arrested since protests began
several weeks ago, according to Bernard Cazeneuve, France's
interior minister.
Police said up to 12,000 people took part in Tuesday's
march, while unions put the number at about 55,000.
The marches have turned violent in some cases, with
clashes breaking out between protesters and police in
the western cities of Nantes and Rennes.
