Farmers storm the agricultural fair in Paris. President Macron warns: "You won't help any of your colleagues if you smash the stands" In France there have been violent protests by farmers in recent weeks.

Smaller protests flared up again and again - on Wednesday, for example, trucks dumped rubble in front of a supermarket in the west of the country. The government then went a long way to accommodate the protesters. She promised an aid package worth 400 million euros and a reduction in bureaucratic requirements.
