French unions and student groups are set to take to the streets for another day of protests on Saturday, November 7, while the Yellow Vests movement plans a separate rally in central Paris despite a ban by authorities.

Student groups and trade unions have called for an authorised march in central Paris "against the high cost of living and in support of young people".
