France's Constitutional Council on Friday approved an unpopular plan to raise the retirement age to 64, in a victory for French President Emmanuel Macron after three months of mass protests over the legislation that have damaged his leadership. The move is likely to enrage unions and other opponents of the pension plan, including protesters gathered in spots around France on Friday evening as the decision came down.(AP Photo/Lewis Joly)
