Strike action over new working laws in France this week has seen fuel supplies in some petrol stations running low or running out all together.

There have been blockades and clashes with police at the 8 French oil refineries, fuel depots and petrol stations, as the government refuse to change their new labour laws.

It's not clear when the disruption is likely to end, although deliveries of fuel are still getting through to some affected areas.
