France vents its anger at plans to raise the retirement age

Description

Up to 2 million French people took to the streets nationwide on Thursday, in a show of anger over the government's plans to raise the age of retirement. President Sarkozy's ministers say the French will soon have to work up until the age of 62, instead of 60, if the country is ever to bring the ever-increasing pensions deficit back under control.
