SAINTE-SOLINE, France -One police officer and a protester were seriously injured on Saturday in clashes during an unauthorised demonstration against the construction of a water reservoir for farm irrigation in western France. Police fired tear gas to repel some protesters who threw fireworks and other projectiles as they crossed fields to approach the construction area in the rural district of Sainte-Soline. At least three police vehicles were set alight, television footage showed. Emmanuelle Dubee, the prefect of the surrounding region, said at least 6,000 protesters had joined the march, defying a ban on protests at the site where a similar protest last October also turned violent.
