'Yellow vests' urged to halt action

Strasbourg shooter did not leave French territory, still at large

PARIS - The French government on Thursday urged "yellow vest" protesters to refrain from holding another round of demonstrations this weekend, citing the strain on security forces on high alert after the terror attack at a Christmas market in Strasbourg.

"For now we have not banned the demonstrations" which some protesters have called for on Saturday, government spokesman Benjamin Griveaux told CNews television.
