BBC Live – We’ve just met two 18-year-olds who have joined the rally in Paris.
The teenagers – who didn’t want to give their names – say their generation is in despair and feel abandoned by the Macron government.
One of them claims the police have been totally disproportionate in their treatment of the student protest.
I ask why he’s covering his face. He replies it’s because it’s cold and because there may be tear gas. He says the looting of last weekend was unacceptable.
