French protesters once again take to the streets across the country over an unpopular labor bill that’s under debate in parliament. The government of President Francois Hollande believes some sacrifices have to be made in social and labor rights in order to kick start the economy. Labor and student unions as well as far left parties argue that the bill must be scrapped as France has gone through enough austerity. More on that in this report by Anustup Roy from Paris.
