Four people were arrested, including two who were taking part in demonstrations critical of Chinese rule in Tibet, AFP news agency said. Officials twice extinguished the torch and put it on a bus for safety reasons.[...] [...]Several hundred demonstrators waving banners gathered on the Trocadero esplanade where the relay got started at 1235 local time (1135 BST). A member of the French Green party was restrained by police after attempting to grab the torch from the first of Paris's 80 torch bearers, former world 400 metres hurdles champion Stephane Diagana, Reuters news agency said. Police twice carried the torch onto a bus amid the demonstrations. On the second occasion, the flame was being relayed out of a Paris traffic tunnel by an athlete in a wheelchair when it was taken onto a bus because protesters booed and began chanting "Tibet", the Assoicated Press reported."]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7334545.stm
