9:05Firefighters use hoses to extinguish rubbish and wooden pallet fires.

Union banners fill the wide shots; closer to the ground, officers chase demonstrators along sidewalks and force detainees onto the pavement. ET Now World's France protest report moves between the scale of the marches and the confrontations taking place around them.

The channel says more than 600,000 people demonstrated nationwide. Its upload had drawn roughly 32,000 views before completing its first day, an unusually large audience for regular videos that typically start with only hundreds.

The footage opens with nighttime arrests in Paris, then cuts to daytime scenes of a water cannon and tear gas. A street sign identifies Lille in part of the sequence. The northern French city lies near the Belgian border, placing some of the street-level coverage well beyond the capital.

Not every scene is a confrontation. Outside a café, a man plays acoustic guitar with riot police standing nearby. Later, high-angle shots show police cordons and tear gas spreading through a crowded square. Firefighters then hose down burning rubbish and wooden pallets, before the report returns to police lines moving through the plaza.
