French police fire teargas to expel anti-airport squatters
Officers remove activists from Notre-Dame-des-Landes site that was earmarked for new airport

The area in Notre-Dame-des-Landes had been squatted for years by opponents of the plan to build a €580m (£505m) airport, which the government dropped in January.
