RIOTS broke out in Paris this morning, as high school students protested against the lack of social distancing in schools.
Dozens of high school students were involved in the protests, which took place outside several Parisian schools. Violent scenes erupted outside Lycée Colbert, in the 10th arrondissement in Paris, as police attempted to disperse students by charging into them and spraying tear gas.

Pupils at the school had blockaded the three main entrances with large bins.
Shocking videos and photos from the scene show the officers brutally attempting to clear the main door.
The officers were wearing masks and holding shields as they attempted to make ground and disperse the young protestors.
Some students were injured in the clash.

Following a number of failed attempts, police eventually removed the students from outside the school and cleared the bins blocking the entrance. 
Around 60 students have been fined for their involvement in the protests.
France entered a second national lockdown last week, but schools remain open.
High school students are demanding the closure of schools, as they claim there are not sufficient measures in place to protect pupils and staff from the spread of coronavirus.
One student said: "We are asking for real confinement, to preserve our health but also that of teachers and our families."
A number of other demonstrations took place outside other Parisian schools today, including at Hélène-Boucher high school, in the 20th arrondissement, and the Maurice-Ravel high school, a neighbour of Hélène-Boucher.
In the 4th arrondissement, the Sophie-Germain high school was also blocked.
On Thursday October 29, French President Emmanuel Macron declared a second national lockdown will be introduced from October 30 until at least December 1.
Under the new rules, people are only allowed to go to work if home working is not possible, buy essential goods, attend medical appointments and exercise for one hour a day.
People are banned from travelling between regions and have to remain within 1km from their homes.
They also have to carry a form explaining why they are outside.
Schools have remained open.
France reported a record 52,518 new COVID-19 cases on Monday, while the country’s death toll rose by 416 to 37,435.
Health Minister Olivier Véran has said one Parisian is getting infected with the deadly virus every 30 seconds, while every 15 minutes there is a Parisian arriving in hospital as a result of COVID-19.
