Scattered protests continue as Paris reels from violence

Protesters angry at French President Emmanuel Macron’s pension reforms have continued with scattered actions amid slowed train traffic, rows of lorries blocking access to Marseille’s commercial port and debris still littering the Paris streets after the previous day’s mass demonstrations.
More than 450 protesters were arrested in Paris and beyond on Thursday as some 300 demonstrations drew more than a million people nationwide to protest against unpopular pension reforms.
