Olympic torch security 'bubble' for Paris leg
Around 3,000 French police on motorcycles, in jogging gear and on skates will protect the Olympic torch relay today as it departs from the Eiffel Tower and criss-crosses Paris amid threats of pro-Tibet protests.
When the torch passed through London yesterday, police repeatedly scuffled with activists angry about China’s human rights record leading up to the Beijing Olympics from August 8-24.
