are correspondent lisa louis joined me from paris to explain what was happening today. : absolutely. however, the numbers have gone down a bit when you look at the different sectors where there are still strikes ongoing, the percentage of participants has gone down in the editor city and transport sector. also the number of people have turned out today across france has gone down compared to last week's record day. however, there are still quite respectable numbers, 2 million people turned out to demonstrate against tension performed today, according to the unions. that still means that there are still a lot of people who are against this reform, that the anger sits deep with people and they are not happy about how the government has gone about this. phil: who are the protesters out on the streets? guest: it's extraordinary, it is actually all sorts of people, not just from the far right or the far-left or the usual suspects that are not to demonstrate, lots of people that have never demonstrated before and even people who used to vote for emmanuel macron, his voter base

if you're not or corresponded in paris, lisa louis, at least it's good to see you again. explain why your, why the government it was expected to survive the confidence vote, even though it could not muster a majority in parliament last week to pass this pension reform bill because it's 2 different things. really, you know, the, the law makers that are in the fakers away and the focus of attention were the republican, the conservative law makers. and that were supposed to vote in favor of the reform, but that not all of them agreed with that and followed their leaders lead really last thursday. and that's why the government used the special constitutional power . but the government also knew that if they launched this, no confidence, right, or if they had this now confidence vote at the stakes would be different for republican lawmakers if they'd then vote against the government that would have brought down the government. and she get snapped parliamentary elections and in these snap parliamentary elections, young party that was almost certain to gain ground would have bee

lisa louis and parish told me why people are still fighting so hard against these pension reforms that were pushed through last week and i ran it extraordinary. what happened today you had between one and 3500000 people taking to the streets to say no to this pension reform that is about twice as many as during the last nationwide day of strikes last week before as you said, the reform was pushed through and you're right, there were really angry. they were angry by the government method. the fact that the government, a man my call, the president used this extraordinary constitutional power to push the reform through parliament without of aid and further and get by in my, my course interview with friends, journalists, a yesterday way, did not show any empathy for people as people were saying afterwards, and he also was, he refused to back down and shoot as they corded this saying for his own people. well, the pension reform, it's already a done deal and, and obviously it wasn't enough to get enough votes to break down the government. so these protests, i mean i, i understand there, ther

so let's go to paris and bringing lisa louis our correspondent lisa. the no contract was rejected. does that mean that mccall and his government are now safe? well, a safe in that of the my call. my con government is not going to come down immediately because you know, the vote of no confidence was rejected. but that doesn't mean that politically speaking, the president is in shallow motions, yet there is a lot of protest, lots of protest going on in paris across the country. and people are watching the situation very closely. politically speaking, there is a 2nd rate of confidence plan for later on this evening. however, that one is very unlikely to succeed because it launch by the far right party. and i want to not the other traditional means that the opposition parties will try in the coming days and weeks going to the constitutional court and also a launching a referendum because they want the friends to vote on this for form. and then now will this end to protest? so can we expect more it's kind of triggering more anger within the general population. there were protest movemen

oh, our paris correspondent lisa louis has been covering the story. i asked her if the government's decision to force through pension reform can still be overturned. well, you know, with this special constitutional power, the rule is that the reform will go through through unless there is a vote of no confidence. we understand that 4 different parties are a going to launch such a vote of no confidence today to have to bring it in today and at these votes will be held on monday. now as we just heard, it is rather unlikely that the government will fall because the conservative party, the republicans have said that they would not would not vote in favor of such a vote. however, when you look back to yesterday's extraordinary day here in paris in france, what happened was actually that the government, the republican party had also pledged the heads of the republican party had said we're going to, we are going to vote in favor of the reform. but it turned out that many of its members then said, no, i'm not going to go along with what the party had, have de
