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.

UK correspondent Gavin Grey says the politicians involved have received death threats and their constituency offices have been vandalised by protesters.

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