Polish trade union members burn a tire during a protest against the government's policies in Warsaw on September 11, 2013.
The municipality said the protesters numbered 15,000, but organizers estimated some 23,000 attended the mass protest at the start of the four-day demonstration.

The administration of US President Barack Obama shares with Israel the raw intelligence data vacuumed up by country’s National Intelligence Agency without even taking out the information about the American public and even government officials, according to a newly-leaked document.
A copy of a top secret agreement, signed in 2009 and provided by the American whistleblower Edward Snowden, shows that the NSA “routinely” passes to its Israeli counterpart, the Israeli Signals-intelligence National Unit (ISNU), the vast digital data it gathers under secret court authority from US Internet providers.
Both McCain and Kerry pointed to O’Bagy’s views as their best evidence that the militants’ attempt to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad is not rife with al Qaeda-linked extremists.
Elizabeth O’Bagy, who had claimed to be the think tank’s Syria expert, did not have a doctorate from Georgetown University, and had links with militants in Syria, according to media reports.
Circuit judge Jay Bybee said: "Even if it is commonplace for members of the general public to connect to a neighbour's unencrypted wi-fi network, members of the public do not typically mistakenly intercept, store, and decode data transmitted by other devices on the network."

"In leaving the (solar system) and setting sail on the cosmic seas between the stars, Voyager has joined the other historic journeys of exploration such as the first circumnavigation of the Earth and the first footprint on the moon," said Voyager project scientist Ed Stone.
"This historic step is even more exciting because it marks the beginning of a new era of exploration for Voyager, the exploration of the space between the stars."

Calling it the "first observation of mechanical gearing in a biological structure," the scientists said the discovery shows gear mechanisms previously thought to be solely man-made have an evolutionary precedent.
The gears in the Issus hind-leg bear remarkable engineering resemblance to those found on bicycles and inside car transmissions, they said.
