French pension talks resume as government seeks to end standoff

Description

France's government is meeting today with unions and employers for a fresh round of talks to try and resolve the standoff over a pension overhaul that has sparked the country's longest transport strikes in decades. Unions say the reform would force millions of people to retire later. The government insists the measure is necessary for ensuring sufficient financing for the deficit-plagued system. IMAGES
