You
will get coverage from the liberal media (resprsented by the Guardian
and Demcoracy Now!) and the likes of 350.0g and AVAAZ that
peddle half truths.
The
truth of the matter, as always will be difficult to find.

Peaceful Paris climate gathering descends into clashes with police
Anti-capitalists take over climate protest to rail against ban on marches imposed after terror attacks on city
29
November, 2015
A
day of celebration and hope in Paris disintegrated into rioting and
clashes with police on Sunday, after anti-capitalists and anarchists
hijacked a peaceful event organised by climate activists earlier in
the day.
About
200 protesters, some wearing masks, fought with police on a street
leading to la place de la République, which has become a gathering
place for Parisians since the terror attacks on 13 November that
killed 130 people. Witnesses said floral and other tributes were
trampled in the melee.
About
100 protesters were arrested and the gathering was cleared by police
using batons and teargas.
Earlier
on Sunday, there had been a carnival atmosphere in the square before
the climate summit due to begin on the city’s outskirts on Monday.
Thousands of shoes, including a pair belonging to Pope Francis, had
been symbolically laid in the square to represent a climate march
that was cancelled by authorities after the terror attacks.
The
environmental pressure group 350.org had organised a human chain that
ran past the Bataclan, the concert venue where dozens of people died
in the terror attacks. A gap was left in the human chain to represent
the victims.
More
than 10,000 pairs of shoes were left at place de la République,
Paris, by people who were set to take part in the climate change
protest
However,
at lunchtime a group of anti-capitalist protesters began marching
around the statue in the centre of the place de la République. At
first they were outnumbered by those from the more peaceful climate
groups. When two men began singing La Marseillaise, the French
national anthem, they were shouted down by the crowd.
“It
is a song for war,” said Arora Medieu. “Two weeks ago people sang
La Marseillaise to join the sadness the French people had. Today is
nothing about what happened two weeks ago. We don’t have to sing
for war but to be united for a big, important, beautiful cause.”
But
almost immediately afterwards the fight began. About 200 anarchists,
apparently led by the “black bloc” group, charged at police in a
side street. The police responded with teargas and flash bangs.
It
was, said protester, a demonstration against the “police state”
that has cracked down on activism since the terror attacks.
“The
security state cannot live with manifestation [the French right to
assembly],” she said. “The state of France is founded on the
right to manifestation.”
The
situation deteriorated quickly as police restricted access to the
square and launched dozens of teargas missiles into the crowd.
Police
were pelted with glass bottles, cans, sticks and a skateboard. At one
point a series of large bangs made the crowd fall back in fear. It
was a reminder of the psychological affect the terror attacks have
left on this city, but once the crowd realised that the bangs were
set off by police they surged back.
The
votive candles that have piled up on the monument in the centre of
Place de la Republiqué since the terror attacks were also hurled at
police. Afterwards the street was littered with broken glass, candles
and flowers.
A
protester who was handing out eyedrops said people had the right to
march for things they believe in, no matter the security situation.
“It’s
not just about climate change,” he said. “It’s about the
current state in France. The streets belong to us.”
By
the late afternoon the air in la place de la République was still
acrid with the smoke from police canisters. About 250 protesters were
kettled by police in one corner of the square, with no one allowed in
or out.

Manifestation interdite à république, des éléments violents s'en prennent aux forces de l'ordre.
Crowds gathered in the French capital on Sunday to attend a global march for the climate, despite the ban on gatherings enforced by French authorities. When one of the groups charged a police cordon, tear gas was deployed to push them back.
"Huge
amounts" of tear gas were fired at protesters near Place de la
Republique in central Paris, according to witnesses’ reports on
Twitter, with objects flying in the direction of security forces.
The
march, which was set to take place in dozens of cities around the
world, was restricted in the French capital falling under the ban on
gatherings introduced after the November 13 terrorist attacks in
Paris.
