Protesting farmers clashed with police near the parliament building in Warsaw on Wednesday, with police using pepper spray and accusing some participants of perpetrating violence against security forces.

Thousands of farmers gathered in the Polish capital, burning tires and throwing firecrackers as they demanded a halt to cheap imports and environmental regulations they say harm their livelihoods.

Plus, Polish farmers partially blocked a highway with tractors on the outskirts of Warsaw on Wednesday, as they protested against the European Union's Green Deal and imports of Ukrainian agricultural products.

Farmers across the EU have been calling for changes to restrictions placed on them by the bloc's Green Deal plan to tackle climate change, and for customs duties on imports of agricultural products from Ukraine that were waived after Russia's invasion to be reimposed.
