Comment from the contributor:

From AFP --Environmentalists trying to block a train carrying highly radioactive nuclear waste from western France to a dump in Germany were beat by police in the largest and most violent anti-nuclear protests since 2001 in Germany. Activists set fire to barricades on the tracks in the north of the country, which police extinguished with water cannon.
