Reuters

   PARIS - Protesters scuffled with police at Gare de Lyon station in
   Paris on Monday as a nationwide strike against plans by French
   President Emmanuel Macron to change the country's pension system
   dragged on into a 19th day.

   French TV station BFM showed footage of riot police tangling with
   around 30 protesters at the Gare de Lyon, one of the French
   capital's busiest stations and often used for travel to ski resorts in
   the Alps.
   Protesters let off flares and fireworks, releasing smoke that drifted
   down into the station concourse.
