epa10571061 Riot police are surrounded by tear gas as they clashed with protesters during a rally against the French government's pension reform, in Paris, France, 13 April 2023. The 'sages', members of the Constitutional Council, were due to deliver their verdict on 14 April concerning the examination of the text of the pension reform, almost one month after the country's prime minister announced the use of article 49.3 of the French Constitution to have the text of the controversial bill to be definitively adopted without a vote. The reform would raise the retirement age from 62 to 64. EPA/YOAN VALAT
