LFI firebrand Jean-Luc Melenchon said on Sunday that there was "a very simple way" to return to peaceful relations, and that was "to withdraw the law". The Council of Europe said on Friday that peaceful protesters and journalists had to be protected from police violence and arbitrary arrest. Macron told a crisis meeting of senior lawmakers and cabinet ministers that while his hand was still held out to the unions, the violent protests over the last days had nothing to do with the reform itself, participants said. But he said the violent protests "had nothing to do with pensions" and all they had in common "was to target our institutions and security forces". Berger called on the government to come up with a "very big move on pensions". "We need to continue to hold out the hand to the unions," a participant in the meeting quoted Macron as saying.

French government says TikTok and all other “recreational apps” pose data security risks if installed on government and senior official devices.

Over multiple days, Chew was pressed by deputies on the House Committee on Energy and Commerce on various topics such as TikTok’s content moderation practices and the company’s spying on journalists. The French government has banned TikTok and all other “recreational apps” from phones issued to its employees. After an analysis of the issues, in particular security, the government has decided to ban the downloading and installation of recreational applications on professional telephones provided to public officials.

PARIS — France is bracing for fresh chaos Tuesday with a day of protests planned against Emmanuel Macron's detested pensions reform, and trade unions ...

Trade unions say they would agree to talks only if the government agreed to re-examine the legal age of retirement. A rolling strike of waste collectors in Paris has meant that trash is still piled high in parts of the French capital, and a strike at refineries has led to fuel shortages at some petrol pumps. “Obviously there are tensions over the reform, we need to listen,” she told AFP on Sunday. On Saturday, a man was left in a critical condition after clashes with police at a In the wake of the unrest, which resulted in more than 450 arrests, the French president was forced to cancel a state visit by King Charles III amid security concerns.

Their involvement is a worrisome development for Macron, because it suggests that protests are evolving, broadening from workplace and retirement concerns to a more generalized malaise with the president and his governance. Instead, he ordered his prime minister to skirt parliament by using a special constitutional power to ram the bill through. So drastically has Macron lost the initiative that he was forced to indefinitely postpone a planned state visit this week by King Charles III. He would rise from his grave if he saw me sitting at home, in my sofa, not doing anything,” Leblanc said. Police and environmental activists fought pitched battles over the weekend in rural western France, resulting in dozens of injuries. Macron said the royal visit likely would have become their target, which risked creating a “detestable situation.” “The French are known for fighting and we'll fight," says one of the friends, Coline Marionneau, also 17. They're regularly striking and demonstrating and threatening to make his second and final term as president even more difficult than his first. But hobbled in parliament and contested on the streets piled high with reeking garbage uncollected by striking workers, he’s being given a tough lesson, again, about French people power. Their reign finished badly: In the French Revolution, King Louis XVI ended up on the guillotine. Fares looks both excited and nervous as she prepares to march down Paris streets where people for centuries have similarly defied authority and declared: “Non!” Two friends, neither older than 18 but already protest veterans whose parents took them to demonstrations when they were little, are showing Fares the ropes.

[Paris](https://www.france24.com/en/tag/paris/), city councillors backed the principle of menstrual leave for the French capital’s 30,000 female employees in a preliminary vote earlier this month, calling on the government to “clarify” the country’s labour laws to ensure the move is legal. Meanwhile, left-wing lawmakers in the French parliament are working on a bill to extend paid menstrual leave to the private sector, with only a handful of French companies currently offering such schemes. “Opening debate on paid menstrual leave will help democratise the subject (and) facilitate diagnosis of endometriosis,” the letter said. The town of Saint-Ouen on the northern edge of Paris has become the first French municipality to grant paid medical leave to female staff suffering from period pain, hoping to “break a taboo” on the subject and inspire similar moves at the national level.

Breaking with the hyperfixation on TikTok, France says none of the other recreational apps are secure either. Sacré bleu!

One of the few talking points Chew got across was that most of TikTok’s problems are standard in the tech and social media business. In other words, TikTok could be sold to an American company or banned altogether and user data could still make its way into the hands of Chinese officials. Banning TikTok, however, is a nonsensical half-measure, because of, you know, the other millions of apps that leak your data on a constant basis. Instead, politicians on both sides of the aisle TikTok is now banned on government devices in the US, Canada, the UK, the EU, and elsewhere, and American lawmakers have their eyes on a national ban for consumers. The French, apparently, are the only adults in the room.

In metropolitan regions of France, Ixodes species were most frequent, except for the increased prevalence of Dermacentor species in South France, along with Hyalomma species ticks.

Of 217 patients with available clinical data, 49% (n=107) had symptoms, of which the most frequent ones were local erythema, inoculation eschar, lymphadenopathy, fever, and cutaneous rash, observed among 37, 33, 27, 17, and 15 patients, respectively. Bacteria carried by the ticks were isolated and identified by PCR or serologic methods at the institute. Ticks were sent to the Institut Hospitalo-Universitaire Méditerranée Infection in Marseille, France, and identified by using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. To identify ticks by molecular techniques, tick deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was extracted, and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplified products of the 12S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) gene were subjected to Sanger sequencing. In total, 418 ticks, obtained from 359 humans, were analyzed, and each patient had one to 16 tick bites.

As the population ages, pension deficits grow and social conflict looms. Can Macron find a solution before it's too late?

We are in the grip of what Charles Goodhart and Manoj Pradhan in 2020 dubbed The Great Demographic Reversal: An end to several decades of benign economic trends in inflation, interest rates and inequality. The expression is French, as are the recent images of uncollected garbage being set on fire and clashes against riot police, but the root problem goes beyond France. Famously deployed in the days of Charles de Gaulle during the 1968 student riots, it’s back in fashion after 10 days of strikes triggered by Emmanuel Macron’s hike in the minimum retirement age to 64 from 62.

The FSU – which streamed a live video from Tuesday’s protest inside the airport – is one of France’s main trade unions in its education sector, representing “162,000 members, of whom 88% are teachers,” according to its website. At least four groups can be identified in the footage based on their insignia, including a local Basquec trade union and two national associations – the CGT Departmental Union of Pyrénées-Atlantiques and the Fédération syndicale unitaire (FSU). The government has pressed on with the hugely unpopular bill because it says that relying on the working population to pay for a growing age group of retirees is no longer fit for purpose.

France's government unfurled ramped-up security measures and warnings that violent demonstrators intend "to destroy, to injure and to kill" as trade unions.
