More French anti-government protests over pension reforms

Protests have continued in several French cities after President Emmanuel Macron used executive powers to push through a pension reform without a vote in Parliament.

The French government has narrowly survived a vote of no-confidence after a special constitutional power, called Article 49:3, was used to push the bill through last week.

Over the past week more than 1,500 protests have taken place all over the country.

The reforms mean the retirement age in the country would be raised from 62 to 64.
