                                    French police on Wednesday detained scores of people who broke into the Paris region's main wholesale market complex during nationwide protests by farmers, the Créteil public prosecutor's office told AFP.  The arrests came as convoys of tractors edged closer to Paris, Lyon and other key locations, with many ignoring police warnings over the scope of their action.
