BBC: Hungarians rally again against 'slave laws'
About 10,000 people have rallied in Hungary's capital Budapest against new labour laws, which have been labelled "slave" legislation by opponents.
The crowds marched towards parliament and the state TV headquarters, in what was the fourth and largest protest since the laws were passed last week.
Police fired tear gas to disperse protesters near the TV station.
