May Day Protests in France Turn Violent with Police Injuries and Royal Feud.

TL;DR Summary
More than 100 police officers have been injured in clashes with protesters across France, as hundreds of thousands took part in May Day demonstrations against President Emmanuel Macron's pension reforms. While most of the protests were peaceful, radical groups threw petrol bombs and fireworks, prompting police to respond with tear gas and water cannon. The reforms, which raise the state pension age from 62 to 64, have been met with opposition from trade unions who want them withdrawn. The government has promised further talks, but it is not clear where a compromise could be found.
