Masked youths clashed with police and set fires in cities across France on Tuesday as protests against a proposed hike in the retirement age took an increasingly radical turn. President Nicolas Sarkozy pledged to crack down on "troublemakers" and guarantee public order, raising the possibility of more confrontations with young rioters after a week of disruptive but largely nonviolent demonstrations. More than 200 protests and one-day strikes by workers in sectors across the French economy were planned around the country over a bill raising the retirement age to 62. In many cities, protesters were being joined by young people who appeared to be seizing an opportunity to lash out at police. Protests turned violent in the central city of Lyon, where rioters smashed several store windows and torched rubbish bins and cars. Police used tear gas in an attempt to disperse trouble makers.

World Business: New China, under the rule of the Communist Party, is now 60 years of age. And for the past two decades, the country has developed at such a rate that the once sick man of Asia is now the worlds third largest economy, powered by a working age population that grew much faster than the total population. But within a decade Chinas workforce will shrink a result of the controversial one child policy. And this is happening at a time of explosive growth in the number of elderly - many of whom, today, have little in the way of a social safety net.
