Protests have broken out in Hungary after the country's parliament 
passed new labour laws, which have been labelled "slave labour" by 
opponents.

New rules mean companies can demand up to 400 hours of overtime a 
year and delay payment for it for three years.
Police used tear gas against crowds on the steps of the parliament 
building on Wednesday night as crowds gathered.

They were also angry over a second vote to create a new system of 
administrative courts controlled by the minister of justice, which 
critics fear will not be independent.
