PARIS - MORE RIOTS

Last week, our man in Paris, Mathieu Berenholc, got involved in this student riot. There's some pretty harsh stuff in here, but it's like Glastonbury compared to the shit that happened in the Muslim areas of Paris last November.

Watch: Paris riots

Mathieu reports: "There were people dancing around like clowns, smoking weed and putting flowers everywhere but then a hooligan element got involved and things started getting scary and a lot of the students started crying.

"They were protesting against a new law that's supposed to increase the length of time that businesses can employ people under the age of 26 on a "trial period" from three months to two years. They're pissed off because this sounds like they could be paid training wages for that period and that could interfere with paying for the bongo lessons."
