a review of the met�*s culture and standards of the murder of sarah everard. of paris one of the main orbital routes around the city. last night, french riot police used tear gas and water cannon to clear thousands of protesters from the streets of the capital. the unrest began after president macron forced through plans to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64, using a rarely—used clause in the constitution to avoid a vote in the assembly. russell trott reports. singing this isn'tjust a rendition of the national anthem, this is a protest by france's own lawmakers. the prime minister was repeatedly heckled. translation: i wasn't angry, i was really shocked. - it reflects the fact that a certain number of opposition groups do not respect our institutions. some of them had said it clearly, they want chaos in the assembly and on the street. president emmanuel macron would have known this move would anger the people of france, pushing through laws without a vote has always been unpopular. and pension reform has been an inflammatory issue. this is how president em
