Protesters in Warsaw occupy several key roundabouts in the city centre to block traffic and chant anti-government slogans, brandishing the protest symbol -- a red lightning bolt, as thousands of people take to the streets of Poland for a fifth straight day of protests against a constitutional court ruling that would impose a near-total ban on abortion in the EU country. Poland's constitutional court last week ruled in favour of further restrictions, stating that an existing law allowing the abortion of damaged foetuses was "incompatible" with the constitution.

The EU says it will drop action started against Poland six years ago over rule-of-law concerns that could have led Warsaw to lose its vote in the bloc's affairs. The European Commission said it intends to withdraw the procedure launched under Article 7 of the Treaty on European Union after Warsaw's new centrist government took steps to remedy the issues.
