France protests: Police charge demonstrators, make arrests hours after pension bill adopted

Police in Paris charged at demonstrators and made arrests on Monday night as protesters took to the streets of France after the government of President Emmanuel Macron adopted its controversial pension bill. The bill was considered adopted after two no-confidence votes brought by opposition parties narrowly failed. Under the bill, the retirement age will be raised from 62 to 64 years old. In Lille, tear gas was fired at protesters, while emergency workers attempted to put out fires in Bordeaux and Paris after garbage and trash bins were set on fire.
