A mass protest is being held in the Italian capital, Rome, against Prime Minister Matteo Renzi's plans for labour market reform. The turnout for the rally, organised by the largest union, the CGIL, was put at up to one million. Mr Renzi has backed plans to loosen labour protection and make it easier for firms to fire workers. The protesters are angry in particular at job prospects for the young - youth unemployment is at a record 44.2%.
