Fans protest as 'anti-Semitic' comedian Dieudonne's show is cancelled in France...

A controversial French comic was banned from performing in Nantes, just hours after a local court said he could go ahead with his show.

Conflicting rulings by French authorities over Dieudonne M'bala's act sowed widespread confusion and anger outside the theatre in the western city.

The tug-of-war over the show involved a multitude of authorities: the Council of State, the city of Nantes, a court in Nantes and Interior Minister Manuel Valls.

Valls wants Dieudonne kept off all stages in France, denouncing what he calls the "mechanics of hate" relayed by the comic.

 The city of Nantes had banned the comic's performance, but a Nantes court overturned that ban earlier on Thursday. More + video...
