France's government is meeting today with unions and employers for a fresh round of talks to try and resolve the standoff over a pension overhaul that has sparked the country's longest transport strikes in decades.

French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe again hosts trade union leaders and employers organisations at Matignon as the ongoing transport strike against pension reform enters its third week and railway workers still refuse the idea of a truce. IMAGES OF THE ROUNDTABLE
