> Nearly eight years after the Yellow Vest movement swept France, some are urging its return as nationwide demonstrations are planned for Saturday, demanding more government action on living costs. Al Jazeera’s Natacha Butler reports that Saint-Denis Mayor Bally Bagayoko, of the left-wing France Unbowed party, intervened between students and riot police at a recent Paris protest. The high school demonstrations that have shaken France for nearly a month began in Saint-Denis.
