Fears mounted of yet more unrest on the streets of France this weekend as the government struggled to get a grip on the demonstrations causing nationwide turmoil.

Mounds of rubbish left by striking bin men continued to pile up in Paris, serving in part as makeshift barricades for protesters.

The demonstrations, sparked by president Emmanuel Macron’s attempt to raise the state pension age from 62 to 64, have turned violent in the past ten days.
