Retirees revolt in Argentina over austerity measures.

We begin in Argentina where police have clashed with

demonstrating senior citizens in the capital Buenos Aires. The protesters are

angry. President Harvey Emile has announced he'll veto a pension increase which was

pushed through by the Senate, he says.

He needs to tackle the country's high inflation with austerity measures.

White police fired tear gas, pepper spray and beat the retirees as they demonstrated near the National Congress.

These people told us why they got involved in the protest.

and participate, all of us.
