PARIS (Reuters) - Riot police evicted dozens of people on Friday from a building they took over in protest against labour law reforms that are provoking street demonstrations and strike calls across France.

Police moved in at dawn, using a fire-engine ladder to get through the roof of a public hall in the western city of Rennes and flush out the protesters, some of whom had taken refuge on the roof itself.
