Thank you for posting this. Here's a few quotes to give an idea of how the BBC are reporting it -

"Most of the yellow vests who arrived off the Arc de Triomphe knew perfectly well what was likely to happen"

"The point is that there is in France a tolerance of street violence which is incomprehensible to outsiders. Thank the country's revolutionary past"

"a sign of the conspiracy mentality that so easily pervades any social media movement"

"It is the dilemma that eventually faces every French president. If you don't give in, then there's more violence for which - this being France - the protesters don't get the blame. You do!"

Well, they can't downplay it anymore.....last week, when the Champs Elysses was ram packed with people along it's entire length they said it was about 8000 protesters!
