doing all that he can to shield people from inflation. it's kept energy bills for consumers, offered financial help to poor households, and is considering a pay rise for teachers. but it is standing firm on his controversial pension reform plans, but who thought him to get out of the system in which the same job doesn't guarantee the same pension, or i say yes, we will all have to work a bit longer. french present, emanuel mcgraw has been promising to overhaul frances complex pension system ever since his 1st term in office. he says it needs to be streamlined to be made farrah, your se wants to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64, or 65. micros past attempts to change the retirement age and pension scheme. we met with not protest from people who said he was eroding their social rights. i was with you to really sick long sir. it's

and the wages are either on the, to block at the same level or an upgrade according to the level of lation, which mechanically leads to worse than living conditions, worst and ability for us just to pay for our rent just to pay for energy bills or even just to pay for the fuel we put in a car to go to work. and that is in a context where the profits are skyrocketing. for example, in the when we were work last year, the rate we company pocketed more than 1000000000 years in profit. and there are several different corporations across france now that are beating their records in terms of profits and dividends. so the thing is, there is a lot of money into psyche. we create an immense amount of wealth through our collective work, and we do not reap the benefit of our hard work. and the only solution we see to that is to fight and take back what is rightfully ours. and that is why we're calling all workers to strike, not only tomorrow, but also to put into discussion in all places in all factories, in all offices. the idea that we will need to go further to win and impose are legitimate demands. so it's way too early to tell how this fight we are just about

to start will evolve. but what i can tell you is that us activist will do everything that is in our power across all industries and public administrations to take the fight to the level what it is needed. and that is a general strike across all industries and comic administrations. iran president abraham racy, says the death of master mimi has saddened everyone but warned the chaos won't be accepted as violent protests, spread demonstrations have been taking place across iran for almost 2 weeks. human rights groups say at least 75 people have been killed in the unrest. and critics of accused police a firing directly at protest is the 22 year old. i mean, he died on the 16th of september after being detained by the countries. morality police are not wearing her. he job properly. a family has filed a complaint against the officers who arrested her for school cert has more from their ron the prisons of iran. the blame bracy has talked about massa. i mean, is that for the 1st time since the process began nearly 2 weeks ago in iran,
