Opel U-turn sparks German strikes

Opel workers in Germany are attending a mass rally outside US parent company General Motors' (GM) headquarters.
Thousands of the 25,000 workers from Opel's four factories are gathered in Ruesselsheim to protest at GM's refusal to sell its European operations.
GM's U-turn came just days before the agreed sale of a majority stake in Opel and Vauxhall to car parts maker Magna and Russian bank Sberbank.
Under that agreement, Opel workers were promised no factories would be closed.
