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". Tags :AlJazeeraParistorchrelayOlympicsTimFriend
