Protests against Covid-19 measures have descended into violence on the streets of the French island of Guadeloupe.
President Emmanuel Macron is calling the situation explosive.
People have been angered by the government of France declaring all healthcare workers must be vaccinated against the virus.
Everyone also has to carry proof they have had the injections.
But people in Guadeloupe are resisting.
They say they do not trust the vaccines, the authorities on the island or the French government.
