Today, there are protests in Kenya over the rising cost of living and in Germany, two of the country's biggest trade unions are holding a 24 hour strike over pay. Most flights, trains, ferries and buses have been cancelled. Workers want at least a 10% boost to their salaries, to help them cope with rapidly rising prices in Germany.
