BBC World Service - Weekend, French public transport strikes continue

Crippling series of strikes on French public transport show no signs of ending.

Strikes on public transport continue across France with no end in sight, just days before Christmas.

Also in the programme: There are violent protests in India against the government's controversial citizenship law; and we hear from Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg as the Senate prepares for the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump.
