Greek police clash with hauliers amid crippling strike
Greek police have fired tear gas to disperse hundreds of lorry drivers protesting in Athens.
The drivers are refusing to obey an emergency government order for them to end a crippling strike.
The strike, now in its fourth day, has paralysed Greece, depriving petrol stations of fuel and prompting tourists to cancel holidays.
Bottles were hurled outside the transport ministry as drivers tried to climb the gates and get inside.
