Germany averts 50-hour train strike

Germany has averted a crippling 50-hour train strike as transport union EVG on Saturday called off the industrial action after reaching a wage deal with rail operator Deutsche Bahn.

Delays and disruptions are however still expected in the next days across the rail network, Deutsche Bahn said, as it needed to work through the mass changes that had arisen because of the planned strike.

Long live Turkish justice

The Turkish leg of the Deniz Feneri (Lighthouse) charity embezzlement case, which a German court defined as "the theft of the century," had a happy ending.
