French police have used tear gas and water cannons to force yellow-vest protesters off the Champs-Elysees in Paris as demonstrations against the cost of living continued. • The French capital's famed avenue was re-opened to traffic as darkness fell after a day of protests in which bare-breasted protesters dressed as red-hooded Marianne, a symbol of the revolutionary French Republic, joined yellow vests and took to the streets. • French president Emmanuel Macron called for calm on Friday following a series of violent weekends in the capital and a strong police presence was deployed to combat the expected demonstrations. • • Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http://bit.ly/2lOHmNj • • Get breaking news and more stories at http://www.itv.com/news • Follow ITV News on Facebook: / itvnews • Follow ITV News on Twitter: / itvnews • Follow ITV News on Instagram: / itvnews
