A cross-section of Belgium's workforce are out on the streets. They are calling for a 1,500 euro per month pension, a 2,300 euro minimum salary for public sector workers. and to reduce the retirement age back down to 65 from 67.

Demonstrators have taken to the streets of Brussels to fight for pensions and the country's social security system. But Belgium's still not got a government since last May's elections. Jack Parrock reports from the protests.
