Thousands of Truckers Shut Down Berlin

Thousands of German truckers protesting higher gas prices clogged the streets around the capital's center Tuesday demanding relief despite the government offering low-interest loans. Some 2,000 trucks had blocked Berlin's central Tiergarten park to the Brandenburg Gate at what protest organizers call a "last chance" to seek relief. The loans in addition to concessions already made last week would be given to mid-sized trucking companies based in Germany that are running into cash shortages because of spiraling fuel costs.
