A fire broke out in a building in central Paris on Wednesday (September 10) and several firefighters were sent to the scene to respond.

Meanwhile, French police used tear gas and water cannon on protesters gathered in a square in the southern French city of Montpellier as "Block Everything" protests spread nationwide in a show of anger against President Emmanuel Macron, the political establishment and planned budget cuts.

Nearly 200 people have been arrested across France, as the "Block Everything" movement began on Wednesday, broadcaster BFM TV reported.

"There have been nearly 200 arrests," said the outgoing Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau.

Some 132 of the arrests were reportedly made across Paris while around 50 unblocking actions were taking place.
