Police in Paris have announced a ban on protests linked to the so-called "Freedom Convoy" that is scheduled to arrive in the French capital from Friday.
Following the "Freedom Convoy" in Canada -- which has seen truckers protesting against vaccine mandates, Covid-19 restrictions and the Liberal government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau -- demonstrators in France have launched a similar initiative against the country's vaccine pass, according to CNN affiliate BFMTV.
One convoy of around 100 people left Nice on Wednesday morning bound for Paris, according to BFMTV.
The Republican-led House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic on Thursday morning will send a letter to US Attorney General Merrick Garland referring a potential criminal case involving former New York Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo to the Department of Justice, alleging he lied to Congress.
