Watch: Why students in France are protesting

Protests are continuing across France as students take to the streets to voice their anger over school conditions.

Demonstrations began in the capital Paris nearly two weeks ago and have now escalated and spread to other parts of the country.

More than 500 schools are facing disruption. At least 65 staff members have been injured in the unrest, the country’s education ministry has said.

The BBC’s James Waterhouse is in Paris and witnessed students throwing projectiles and police firing tear gas during clashes.
