French police prepare for fifth wave of yellow vest protests
PARIS (Reuters) - France will deploy tens of thousands of police nationwide and around 8,000 in Paris on Saturday to handle a fifth weekend of ‘yellow vest’ protests, although the movement appears to be losing steam after concessions by President Emmanuel Macron.

The chief of police in Paris said concerns remained about violent groups infiltrating the protests. Anti-riot officers will protect landmarks such as the Arc de Triomphe and prevent people getting close to the presidential palace.
“We need to be prepared for worst-case scenarios,” police chief Michel Delpuech told RTL radio.

What do you folks think, will the protests be smaller after Macron's waffling, and the terror attack?
Will it be larger, as the protests evolve to Macron must go?
If anyone finds any good live streams I will add to op.
Discuss......
Edit: finally a live stream. Thanks RT.
