Pro-EU demonstrators gather outside the Polish Constitutional Court as it readies to deliver a verdict on the validity of EU law in the country. Poland has said it would fight an order from the EU's top court to suspend a "disciplinary chamber" for judges, part of a long-running row over judicial reform. Poland and the EU have been at loggerheads for years over the reforms and Brussels has promised to take strong action against what it sees as a flouting of democratic norms. Poland argues it should be allowed to adopt the judicial reforms it wants and has accused Brussels of a high-handed approach that could split the European Union. IMAGES
