BBC News - France hit by new wave of mass pension protests: "A fifth day of protests in France against proposed pension reforms brought 825,000 people on to the streets, police said, although unions put the figure at 2.5m to 3m.
The government wants to raise the retirement age from 60 to 62 and the full state pension age from 65 to 67.
Most oil refineries have been hit by strike action, causing fuel shortages at some airports and filling stations.
A further day of strikes is scheduled for Tuesday."
