Description

France's Prime Minister has offered a concession to unions in a bid to end nationwide strikes against proposed pension reforms. Edouard Philippe said he was willing to withdraw a proposal which would raise the age at which workers can claim their pension from sixty-two to sixty-four. There have been five weeks of protests against the government's plans - one of the longest strikes in French history. The BBC's Tim Allman reports.
