Protesters calling for pension reforms to be scrapped clashed with riot police during a rally in Paris, France, on Thursday, January 19.

Footage shows sparks erupting as projectiles were hurled at state enforcers during violence close to the Bastille shortly before dusk.

The unrest came on a day when more than a million residents joined different protests around the country and workers in transport, schools and refinery shipments walked out.

There is widespread anger at President Emmanuel Macron's reforms, which are intended to end a long-standing culture of generous state support.
