Greek capital hit by major strike

Advertisement

After days of violence, Greece is braced for further turmoil as unions stage a general strike in protest against the government's economic policies.

Flights in and out of Athens airport have been cancelled, and public transport has been badly disrupted.

The industrial action was planned weeks ago but follows days of riots sparked by the police shooting of a teenager.
