New photo Fresh violence in Paris as riot police use tear gas and batons

Violence has exploded again in Paris this morning as riot police clashed with masked protesters on the Champs-Elysees. 

As 'Yellow Vest' supporters gathered on the avenue riot police sprayed tear gas and pulled out their batons to fight back protesters who tried to force their way past a checkpoint.  

Identity checkpoints and police barricades have been set up on the road in an effort to avoid rioting on the historic avenue which leads to the Arc de Triomphe.

Some 5,000 police and gendarmes will be deployed today a week after the protesters brought chaos to the French capital, smashing up shops and restaurants, lighting fires, and fighting running battles with riot squads.  

One of the 'yellow vest' protesters, wearing one of the 'gilets jaunes' after which the movement is named,  waves a French flag by the Arc de Triomphe on Saturday morning 

The Yellow Vest movement erupted last month in a rebellion against fuel taxes which has grown into a wider challenge to living costs and Emmanuel Macron's presidency. 

By 10am local time there had already been 16 arrests, according to a Paris police spokeswoman. 

'There will be identity checks and bag searches for all pedestrians,' said Christophe Castener, France's Interior Minister, adding that cars would be banned.  

Macron likened last week's burning barricades and rampant vandalism to 'war scenes' in Paris. 

The Dior Store was among those looted, with the designer fashion business losing up to £1million worth of stock.

Police responded with water cannon and round upon round of tear gas in an effort to quell the violence.

The movement, organised through social media, has steadfastly refused to align with any political party or trade union. 

It is named after the high-visibility jackets which motorists are required to carry in their cars. 

The 'yellow vests' include many pensioners and has been most active in small urban and rural areas where it has blocked roads, closed motorway toll booths, and even walled up the entrance to tax offices. 

The government has tried to hold a dialogue but the protesters have been unwilling to appoint leaders.  

Macron has sought to douse the anger by promising three months of nationwide talks on turning France into a low-carbon economy without penalising the poor. 

He also vowed to slow the rate of increase in fuel taxes if international oil prices rise too rapidly but only after a tax hike due in January.

On Friday, the government tried - mostly in vain - to talk to representatives of the movement. 

Eight were invited to meet Prime Minister Edouard Philippe but only two turned up, and one walked out after being told he could not invite TV cameras in to broadcast the encounter live to the nation.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
