5000 farmers protest against falling prices in Brussels

Thousands of farmers have been protesting in the center of Brussels demanding the EU take measures to stop falling dairy and meat prices.

Hundreds of riot police were deployed to contain a long convoy of tractors from marching toward a meeting of EU agriculture ministers who've now agreed to disburse 500 million euros in aid to help producers.
