Travellers across France endured a fifth day of turmoil today amid a massive strike over planned pension reforms, as the government held a final meeting with union officials before unveiling details of the overhaul this week. Unions have vowed to keep up the fight until President Emmanuel Macron abandons the plan, with another mass demonstration planned in Paris and other cities on Tuesday.
