French pension protests escalate into violent clashes for third night.

Violence erupted for a third night in central Paris over the French government's decision to abandon a parliamentary vote on unpopular pension reforms. President Emmanuel Macron's overhaul will raise the standard retirement age by two years to 64. Rival opposition parties filed two separate no-confidence motions, which are due to be debated on Monday afternoon. A broad alliance of France's main unions has said it would continue to mobilize members to try to force a U-turn on the pension changes.
