France to cut taxes to appease 'yellow vest' protesters

French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe has called for quick tax cuts to appease the anger of "yellow vest" protesters across the country.

Philippe unveiled the results of a three-month "big debate" launched by President Emmanuel Macron in response to the demonstrations, giving ordinary people the chance to express their views on France's economy and democracy.

Tax cuts have been a key demand of the yellow vest movement, whose members have taken to the streets in France every weekend since mid-November.
