French riot police and protesters clashed inside the Gare de Lyon railway station in Paris on Monday amid ongoing strikes against the government’s plans to overhaul the country’s pension system.

The strikes have been running for 19 days, causing major transport chaos at one of the busiest times of the year to travel.
