Around 2,000 protesters march on Tel Aviv's Kaplan Street, waving Palestinian flags and signs reading: "Stop the war," after the weekly protest against Benjamin Netanyahu's hard-right government and its controversial judicial reform was cancelled over security concerns. IMAGES
Protesters in Warsaw occupy several key roundabouts in the city centre to block traffic and chant anti-government slogans, brandishing the protest symbol -- a red lightning bolt, as thousands of people take to the streets of Poland for a fifth straight day of protests against a constitutional court ruling that would impose a near-total ban on abortion in the EU country. Poland's constitutional court last week ruled in favour of further restrictions, stating that an existing law allowing the abortion of damaged foetuses was "incompatible" with the constitution.

Several thousand people begin demonstrating in Paris to demand the withdrawal of the government's controversial pension reform, during an eighth national inter-professional day of demonstration called for, principally, by the CGT and FO unions. IMAGES
In Bordeaux, demonstrators gather before marching to protest Emmanuel Macron's pensions reform. IMAGES
Trade unions insist the current regulations are necessary to protect workers. According to the Prime Minister the reforms are essential to lift Italy's economy out of a perpetual stillness.
Poles take to the streets of Warsaw on International Women's Day to demand free access to contraceptives. Although pro-Western parties managed to oust the conservative Law and Justice (PiS) government in October 2023 elections, women are voicing anger and frustration over delays in changing the laws on women's reproductive rights. The PiS's eight-year rule saw access to abortion, in-vitro fertilisation and emergency contraception tightened. IMAGES
