Gavin Grey: European correspondent on the French protests - Early Edition with Ryan Bridge

Europe's human rights watchdog is accusing French police of brutality.

A controversial pension law has seen protests erupt in Paris for a second week.

UK-Europe correspondent Gavin Grey told Kate Hawkesby that the Council for Europe's Human Rights Commissioner believes comments will add fuel to the fire.

He says the commissioner believes people have a right to be protected from police brutality, and attacks against officers don't justify a heavy handed response.

King Charles' visit has also been cancelled, due to security concerns.
