"Police have invoked emergency powers to ban public meetings in Paris, amid rumours of plans to bring France's smouldering suburban violence into the centre of the capital. The measure, which came into force at 10:00 am. (0900 GMT) Saturday and lasts till Sunday at 8:00 am. (0700 GMT), prohibits 'all meetings likely to start or fuel disorder.'
Some 2,000 police and gendarmes were patrolling the city, with heavy deployment at railway stations, after the authorities intercepted a series of Internet and text messages calling for 'acts of violence' in the capital on November 12."
