Al Jazeera's Tim Friend reports on another day of chaos on the route of the Olympic torch. The latest leg was in Paris, where protests forced organisers to abandon carrying the flame on foot, in favour of a bus ride. The massive French police deployment was not enough to contain demonstrations against China's human-rights policy and treatment of Tibet. Some protestors even called the torch the "flame of shame".

  • @pianistned

    If you think things are good in Tibet for Tibetans please watch

    Tourists don't see the nasty side of the communist party unless they turn up when there are protests.
