With German train drivers on strike, services across the capital Berlin remain disrupted and intermittent, with cancellations and reduced services seen across both local and regional train journeys. Disruption is expected across the country as a result of the train drivers' union's latest salvo in an escalating dispute over working conditions. It is their second walkout in weeks -- in mid-November, train drivers staged a 20-hour strike that led to the cancellation of some 80 percent of long-distance trains nationwide. IMAGES

After several terrorist attacks in Germany over the past year ended in tragedy, the country is working to find a balance between privacy and potentially life-saving surveillance. A pilot project testing face recognition technology in Berlin's busy Sudkreuz train station has been scanning faces of passengers for the past 6 months and comparing them to a database of volunteer criminals. About 300 volunteers submitted photos to the project and agreed to allow their faces to be recognized by the system if they transited the station.
