Half a million march over jobs plan
More than 500,000 students and workers marched in Paris and other French cities today in the biggest show of anger yet at a jobs plan that has led to street violence and threatens to weaken the government.
Youths set a car ablaze, broke a shop window and hurled stones, golf balls and other objects at police during the end of the Paris protest, the biggest known march. Police said 80,000 people took part in the demonstration while organisers said it drew 350,000 people. Up to 14 arrests were made, police said.
