France has been hit with more strike action amid fresh protests against President Emmanuel Macron's pensions reforms, while the French leader is away on a three-day visit to China.
Protesters disrupted vehicle traffic at Paris' main airport and police fired clouds of tear gas in other French cities as people marched as part of nationwide demonstrations.
The crowds are demanding Macron scraps pension reforms that have ignited a month-long firestorm of public anger.
Talks between trade union leaders and Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne broke down on Wednesday, setting the stage for the protesters to return to the streets.
