France fuel crisis: Possible breakthrough in negotiations to end strike

Description

Two French unions announced a tentative pay rise agreement with oil giant TotalEnergies early Friday following emergency negotiations to end a three-week strike that has emptied the country's petrol stations and sparked a wider backlash to the rising cost of living. The hard-left CGT union, which initiated the industrial action, walked out of the meeting, however, and vowed to continue striking.
