What a fine journalistic work. It's not a firecracker, it's a grenade thrown by another policeman from right behind. The grenade bounces on a helmet and then explodes in the middle of the group. It's the easiest thing to check and yet you failed the test...
That was intentional by the news I'm sure
@@redcolt79 maybe, it's even more shameful haha
That is kind of funny
😂😂😂
Happy International Workers Day ✊🏽✊🏿✊🏻✊
Not for France this Year
Keep going France! I support you! Take the power from their hands!
Do you know what's going on in France right now? Seems the media is nolonger covering it.
There is no power, live longer work longer. It's so simple
“The people shouldn’t be afraid of the government. The government should be afraid of the people.”
The French government should've just raised their debt ceiling instead of the retirement age. Power to French People! Stay Strong!!
A littele bit short shighted huh?
@@deteenderwijzen95 Or should have Taxed the rich more
May the foreign press continue to cover our struggle, and may citizens around the world who feel oppressed by an unfair system continue to comment and share widely!
We need your support to give maximum visibility and legitimacy to our revolt, a better and fairer world is possible, but we have to fight for it, no gift will be given to us, we are masters of our common destiny .
With love, for workers around the world.
macron is a dictator! just like joe biden he is bailing out all the banks no one in the USA are protesting over these bank bailouts! Americans are not like the french they are docile.
Report the reasons why. It’s not just retirement. This goes way deeper.
What do you think the reasons are. I believe it's because if the aging population , similar to japan.
Explain. Not taxing the wealthy enough?
We Stay in Bonds! 🇫🇷 🫂 🇲🇲 🤍
Supporting from Burma (Myanmar)
This is what makes or breaks a country. Internal conflicts tear nations in half and sometimes create completely new nations. We've gone through similar situations in history. There's nothing that stands in the way of change if people in "positions of power" take issues seriously.
And Macron crossing the world pretending France is alright.
All leaders do that. No big deal. If they can’t hide it then they say it.
Revolution!!
They really don’t wanna lose that power of the country
It's so terrible. Why don't police think about their actions. They're just following crazily stupid orders.
Revolution
@Azuri e what
@Azuri e you know he hates freedom right?
@Azuri e Macron is a soy boy.
If the government cannot control their spending spree, what is good for them in office???
They better not move here. They’ll throw a fit!
isn't the right to redress the government highly enshrined in america?
Viva la Vida 💪 🇫🇷
They can't do that I'm retiring at 60
6 MONTH LABOR A YEAR .
The statements and accusations we hear about countries we call undemocratic are laughable. The insignificant issues we argue over are designed to keep us distracted from the real issues we face as nations. Makes one wonder how any politician in the west still has their job.
Yet ABC doesn't mention a protestor lost a hand from a stun grenade...
It's interesting how we call for democracy around the world. Some countries in question have made significant progress in terms of human rights unlike some western "democracies".
Respekt from Kroatia. A.C.A.B.
Here in the state retirement is 67 yo and they want to raise it to 70 yo and Americans have no complaints lol
In the usa and Canada media would call us terrorists if we did this
People want to lower taxes and entitle for more benefits at the same time. Anyone who can make this happens will win the Nobel prize.
Well imagine getting taken away benefits?! I mean it could happen here.
Biden announcing that Americans need to retire at 80 so we can give more money to Ukraine and migrants
@@jamalwilburn228 The west is finished.
The U.S. raised our retirement age to 67 this year....crickets.🦗🦗🦗
Workers are herds of farm animals to employers. What kind of living conditions can we expect in the future when we're seen as undesirables. Supressing discussions of poverty crisis until finally hitting home. Doesn't matter who we follow or what beliefs we carry. We've all been born into this world. Allowing ourselves to be pushed by a few should never be an option.
We should at the very least figure out a way to better understand ourselves. Growing up with a small friend group might feel safe but it can delay our growth. Depending on how we view the world and our hobbies. We might find ourselves inside a bubble that will only become harder to leave as time goes by.
This is why they keep us Americans divided, united, we are quiet the rowdy bunch☺️
Its time president steps down!
Very sad 😔 let's hope for the best let's bring harmony and stay blessed
Well. If you don't respond to nonviolent protests, I wonder what happens?
France is just the first. Hardly the only country heading down this path.
Better working conditions are in fact a possibility. Time isn't valued the same when a small group controls majority of wealth. This wealth isn't spread evenly. Reducing the majority to fight each other over the crumbs these "Elite" allow to trickle down. The game will never stop transforming its increased hostility towards the general public.
Common guys, don't be so lazy. Who will pay your expenses post retirement. This is the right move as human lifespan is increasing every decade... time to increase retirement age
Not about a 2 year pension raise? Fr?
Human rights ??????
Understanding the issues and how far towards the wrong path we've diverted. Decreasing our footprint and growing resilient to failures of civilizations that fell when refusing to acknowledge mistakes. History isn't for decoration but a tool to better our world.
Seems like thinking for ourselves is a thing of the past. We've allowed ourselves to be fed lies instead of being leaders. Those in positions of "power" need that nudge to correct themselves. We all fall short but with the proper understanding, marvelous achievements are possible.
0:57 : the officers are hit by their own grenade thrown by another officer behind. Please get the facts checked.
Violence the government’s favourite 😂
Working isn't about filling large corporations pockets. It's about helping increase our understanding of the life we live. How the world is connected and changing rapidly. How we can reduce our footprint by cooperating and understanding instead of hostile takeovers and unfounded rethoric.
0:30 that guy was kicking a trash can
Don’t back down Frenchie, 64 now, and soon 70.
Can we just get the footage without the reader? We all know what is going on already.
Trudeau made the mistake of talking wrongly to the Chinese leaders in a time where Europe needs to stay together. Combined that with disrespect for his own people creates this. He needs to stop, say sorry and hope that the protesters will listen. Then maybe step down.
I've been seeing different ways in which past civilizations since the beginning of recorded history have advanced and how the ruling class would treat and use subjects. The same tactics can be seen today in various degrees all depending where you look.
Failed civilizations….
@@Gfysimpletons Everyday is a new opportunity for change.
@@UnworthySubject we are on the brink of that failure! Not a moment too soon.
Its not about pension
It is though, the age of retirement. Also triggered because our dear president by-passed the vote of this retirement law.
He brute-forced it.
🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷💪
Our attention span has been severely altered to the point where information passes right by. We look but don't see, we hear but don't listen. We've become autonomous by design. This goes all the way back to schools and how we undervalue our teachers. The molders of our societies have been exhausted and worked to brink of failure. They've become autonomous themselves leading to an endless cycle.
We should be listening to what's being said instead of feeding on hate media tries to build up. These countries are well educated with insane amounts of understanding of geopolitics. Making educated decisions that benefit the region. The laws in these developing countries continue to be worked on and change has been increasingly supported by the population.
Some folks are lost in the game of power and prestige, while others want possessions and material objects they think define us. It's important to reach out and not take part in the build up of hate towards our friends around the world. Wouldn't be surprised if some E.U. nations decided to take a neutral stance in upcoming conflicts.
Populations can't survive when cooperation is punished and competition is seen as a threat. Undermining countries efforts for growth to ensure our positions. This isn't as much of an issue for them as it is for us. All they need to do is continue their efforts. While we'd need to take drastic measures to contain problems created when refusing to brainstorm before making policies.
The French don't eat cake. They don't play that...
Hit by a fire cracker 😂😂😂
this sis not protest france people are enjoying start of summer with daily activity that al instead of watching tv they are enjoying time outside that all
It's time to understand of the opportunities we have in our grasp. The will of the people is stronger than that of the government that's placed there to help lead the country. Let's not forget the world is watching. It'll be interesting to see how we go forward in such a pivotal moment. Never underestimate greed.

Retirement age 64? What the frick!!
Its 65 here, obviously frenchmen dont like to work….
@@cowboyx9380 in India, it's 58, bro. Our government is letting us enjoy our earnings as early as possible. Sixty-five is just too old to enjoy what's left of an individual's life, man, but that's just my opinion.
@@X66966 Thats awesome…in many professions here, you can retire as early as 48 after 25 years on the job…teachers, 1st responders, and military, as well as various federal jobs.
*Mostly peacefull protests in Paris*
The same law is going to be passed in the USA and everyone will be busy drinking Bud lite lol
Greed and envy persuade us to want. To undermine and deter anyone from having an equal life to ours because of differences. Different opinions, different beliefs which are insignificant since we're all human beings. When these poisonous thoughts are allowed to manifest themselves into our daily lifes and dreams it can desensitize us and cause us to ignore the most basic of human rights.
Always blaming the People pointing finger at them. Blame government instead
"PANAMA RELOCATION TOURS!! WITH JACKIE 🙋 😊 👍❤️👈"
What's all that worth to countries with no infrastructure? With no way for wealth creation inside the country. Exploiting countries resources while shaping their government and laws to our own liking shouldn't be the norm. When countries are forced to choose : live under our feet or on the same level looking slightly up: It's an easy choice for most.
The only democracies we bring are those that unite when outside powers want to intervene. Taking up arms against imperialist that intervene on sovereign land. We place sanctions on countries refusing to submit and obey as puppets then wonder why our interests and partners keep drifting further away towards a multi polar world.
We're moving into May 5th which is a full, blood moon lunar eclipse in scorpio. It's the anniversary day of the French Revolution. It's very obvious to everyone watching, we are in the Armageddon.
Out of here with the religious nonsense
It's that thinking that will eventually lead to our extinction
Yahhhhhhhhhhh. Make their Welfare State sustainable. Nice job, Macron.
When we try to explain situations with information we've gathered. Bots and paid trolls come with useless statements that contain no information. With the intent to discredit what's being said. Always seeking how money will help our interests or future connections. The opponents tactics are always being refined and re-engineered. It's a game we must acknowledge takes place all around us and is built against the general public.
Lucky you get a pension. You should be old, and in the US. Where we take care of our seniors with 1000$ a month...😂
GET BACK TO WORK!
IT SHOULD BE 70
This has turned into a competition for attention and power between the French union leaders and the government and has zero to do with the reform policy or financial struggles the country faces. If the unions wanted to negotiate let them sit at the table and offer alternatives, instead of just organizing protests. Haven't heard one alternative from the unions in their interviews, their only rebuttal is that they don't see Macron as the right leader. Therefore, removing Macron seems like their objective more than discussing the real issues that affect their society regardless of who is President.
You clearly know nothing.
@@williamshaw5388 educate us
@@carlf.9035 marcon called the unions to talk about france's future, but he did after the decision of the "cour constitutionelle" that mean that the law is passed and that macron has no intensions of abondoning it, the unions leader seeing that Macron has no intesions of abondoning the law, he was commeting a "hors-sujet" by calling the union leaders who wanted the bill to stop for another reason, so the Union leaders said that they will talk with him if it's only aboute the retirement bill, macron never called them back to talk about the retirement of the french workers.
(sorry for the english)
@@thevietmaromen7415 Okay fair enough. Yes I see how this is upsetting to have it forced on people. Macrons biggest failure was also not conveying why the reform was important and what were the long-term benefits in adopting it from when he first announced it. I'm just wondering if the reform doesn't go through maybe that means things will be even worse for the country and people will actually have more financial hardships not just with their pension but other social benefits, so worse than having to work 2 more years. What's your though on that?
@@carlf.9035 my thought is that we should tax the upper class it's easier like that, there ar" french companies like totalenergies who paid 0euro of taxation this mounths or bourgeois that if we elevated taxation by 2% could cover all the retirement of the country, and theres immigration to cover for our aging population so it shouldn't be a problem, but no macron prefers sucking off years of our life to please his friends
In my country, in 2002, the pensionable age was raised from 60 to 65. I think the French protest too much.
If you think it's still about pension, then you don't know what you're talking about.
But hey, good job for trying !
And then in your country it's gonna be 65 to 70.
And yet we're protesting too much, uh ?
Viva la france
Raise age or pension retirement go broke
How long can you poke a bear? Before....
I've been wondering the same thing about the U.S. political scene...

As the climate heads into greater extremes globally, how can we best deal with future climate crises?
The short answer is that we cannot deal with them unless we take care of nature's inner balance.
We live in a tightly-closed and interdependent system in which everything boomerangs back to us. While living in such a system, we need to reconsider what we want and think, and how we treat each other, because our human connections are the primary influence on how nature responds to us.
It is common to think that climate is dependent on factors outside of us-whether it be balances between heat and cold in the environment, or the effects of various kinds of pollution we emit-because we lack a complete picture of how our attitudes to each other bring about the strongest responses from nature toward us.
No creature distorts nature the way that we people do. And it is not simply a matter of switching to renewable energy sources, electric cars and the like; it is a matter of how we relate to each other.
If we truly wish to witness more balance throughout nature and not have to deal with all kinds of cold waves and other natural disasters, then similarly to how we have electricity, water and gas meters in our homes, we should also have meters that count how much evil we emit into the world from our negative attitudes to each other. What I mean is that if we could feel the extent to which we emit negative forces into the world, which negatively ricochet back to us, then we would wish to change this negative driver within us. We would want to switch it to a drive that makes our human connections positive, and which harmonizes us with nature.
In simple terms, when we get up in the morning, we should first and foremost consider what we need to do in order for all people to have it good. Developing such an attitude is not so simple, yet we will need to seriously work on it as we head into the future. A life of increasing blows from nature or a life of peace and harmony depends on the extent to which we impact a shift in our attitudes to each other-from negative to positive.
48 RETIRE

If they one day a week they would probably drop dead from the shock.

Looks like a peaceful protest to me.
Until punks influence by American protesters start making explosives.
It is peaceful. If someone doesn't respect other one rights and opinions, then someone still must show that respect, nothing has changed. France must continue until Macron and his other friends show them respect. It's Macron and his friends problem to find a solution for the problem they see, they took the office, they took the responsibility. It's not people's problem. If Macron don't want to find a solution, the solution is to get him and his supporters out from the office. It's democracy.

MOST rich people stay rich by spending like the poor and investing without stopping then most poor people stay poor by spending like the rich yet not investing like the rich but impressing them
The crypto market is highly profitable with an expert trader just like Mr Brenda Leigh . I got recommended to her and since then my financial life has been a success.,
yes because, rich people can spend $1000, invest $1000000, and still have $10000000. while poor people will spend $10, invest $0, and have a debt of $100.
Rich people stay rich because they can spend money and still have left.
Poor people stay poor because they have no choice but to spend their money to survive. How can they think of investing when they barely have enough money for surviving?
We must get ready for: King J.e.s.u.s,the true King! You can have Charlie's,for me I wait on the real one!

The French government can't afford the pension system in its current state due to an ageing population, and it will clearly lead to unsustainable debt. So what is the plan put forward from these protesters?
