According to CCTV News, a train shipment of nuclear waste from France's La Hague facility met resistance first in France as it departed Wednesday and then in Germany. French anti-nuclear protesters, some of whom damaged rail tracks, managed to delay the shipment. 300 French protesters in Northern France were met by police with batons and tear gas.
Per the Associated Press, further resistance by German anti-nuclear protesters has taken the form of a peaceful protest in Dannenberg where 23,000 activists showed up to demonstrate, as well as 50 protesters who attempted to sabotage train tracks. 300 protesters in Berlin threw rocks and fireworks at police.
