Police have used water cannons against anti-nuclear protesters in northern Germany as a train carrying some 150 tonnes of reprocessed nuclear waste from France made its way to a nearby storage facility.

Protesters lit flares in the woods near the town of Leitstade on Friday and set up roadblocks near the railway lines.
