Mass Protests Continue in France Against Macron's Pensions Plan
---------------------------------------------------------------

In France, hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets again
Tuesday as massive strikes and protests continued for a sixth straight
day. Demonstrators are protesting French President Emmanuel Macron's
proposed pension overhaul. Tuesday's strike again shuttered universities
and ground public transportation across France to a halt. Strikers also
blockaded the majority of France's oil refineries.
