Violent protests erupt in France with petrol bombs hurled at police van sparking explosion
BREAKING: pic.twitter.com/rAJvgbHnp1 — Visegrád 24 (@visegrad24) March 25, 2023 More than 3000 police officers are set to confront up 1,500 “violent activists” from among a crowd of 10,000 protesters today. Explosive demostrations have already begun at Saint Solines in central France, where climate activists are staging a "high-risk" protest against new agricultural irrigation infrastructure. The protest is distinct from the pension reform outcry that has blighted the country and seen widespread violence. Despite the global focus on the pension reform demonstrations, reports suggest that the police's greatest concern is the Saint Solines protest. Video footage from the scene shows protesters throwing petrol bombs and burning police vehicles. Flying objects pepper the battered line of vehicles as smoke billows into the air.

REUTERS/Alexandre Meneghini HAVANA — Cubans banged pots and shouted protests in neighborhoods of Havana still without electricity on Friday, three days after Hurricane Ian knocked out power to the island of 11 million people. Sweating in the dark on Thursday night and early Friday, some Havana residents resorted to pot-banging, a traditional method of expressing discontent in Latin America but one previously rarely employed in Cuba. Hurricane Ian, now plowing north along the southeast coast of the United States, on Tuesday brought Cuba’s grid to collapse, flattened homes and obliterated agricultural fields.

Watch moment Macron is caught REMOVING £2k watch during TV debate on pension reform after riots swept France
EMMANUEL Macron has been ridiculed after he tried to subtly remove his £2,000 watch from his wrist on TV while discussing his bitterly contested pension reforms. The French President was seen tactfully slipping the luxury timepiece off during a prime-time televised debate on Wednesday. Critics said his clumsy display of wealth during the 30-minute interview was further proof he is "president of the rich." Last week, the French leader raised the retirement age from 62 to 64 without a parliamentary vote, which sparked outrage. While defending his controversial decision - which has triggered violent protests across the country - Macron sported a large watch on his left wrist. It featured a blue face and black strap to correspond with the colours of the President's security unit.
