The French Government will face a no-confidence vote over lifting up the pension age to 64.
French President Emmanuel Macron's decision to raise the pension age without a Parliament vote has inspired widespread protests over the weekend.

Gavin Grey says that despite the mass outrage, the no-confidence vote is unlikely to go through because the opposition parties are extremely divided.
