Bialowieza forest: Poland broke EU law by logging

Poland violated EU law by ordering large-scale logging in one of Europe's oldest woodlands, the European Court of Justice has ruled.

Bialowieza forest has been designated a Unesco World Heritage site and is home to Europe's largest herd of nearly extinct bison.

Poland says it will respect the ruling.
