Thousands of people have gathered on the streets of France to once against protest against the government’s move to raise the pension age by two years.

Protesters have been clashing with police since last week, setting bins and barricades on fire, as well as lighting fireworks.

Police have countered this approach, by shooting tear gas to disperse the crowds.

President Emmanuel Macron pushed through a Bill In Parliament, increasing the age of retirement from 62 to 64.

He says this is to ensure the entire system doesn’t go bust.
