Show Notes
Europe's human rights watchdog is accusing French police of brutality.
A controversial pension law has seen protests erupt in Paris for a second week.
UK-Europe correspondent Gavin Grey told Kate Hawkesby that the Council for Europe's Human Rights Commissioner believes comments will add fuel to the fire.
He says the commissioner believes people have a right to be protected from police brutality, and attacks against officers don't justify a heavy handed response.
King Charles' visit has also been cancelled, due to security concerns.
