Blocking the Highway.


[The French government has proposed a
€600m (£420m; $655m) package of urgent
aid for farmers, who have blocked roads for
days in protest at falling prices.
Most of the money will help farmers deal with a cash
crisis by cancelling or deferring tax payments.
But some of the money will help restructure debts.

Farmers said they would assess the plan but
several routes remain blocked.

They accuse supermarkets and the
food industry of keeping prices low,
forcing many of them into bankruptcy.]
