Riot police fire tear gas and water cannon at activists as anti-nuclear protests spill over into violence
Riot police used truncheons and teargas today to clear a rail line during violent clashes with activists trying to disrupt a shipment of nuclear waste in Germany.
Around 250 activists had tried to damage the track near a waste storage dump to halt a train carrying the nuclear material.
When police tried to stop them, they responded by firing flare guns and spraying officers with a chemical irritant.
The waste originated in Germany and was re-processed at the French nuclear group Areva's plant at La Hague, before being transferred back to a storage site in the northern German town of Gorleben.
