GERMAN ACTIVISTS TRY TO BLOCK NUCLEAR WASTE SHIPMENT

A forest in Germany has been turned into a struggle over nuclear power.

More than 17,000 policemen were used to keep a trainload of nuclear waste on the move to a storage site at Gorleben.

Protesters are doing everything they can to stop it, including trying to blockade the tracks.
