BERLIN/PARIS (from news wires) - President Nicolas Sarkozy of France faced setbacks on two starkly different domestic fronts Thursday: a wave of strikes that swept through France and an official announcement that his 11-year marriage had come to an end. The 24-hour strike halted most trains, subways and buses around the country, which led to the cancellation of and classes at some schools and theatrical performances.

Meanwhile, all across Germany, commuters faced major disruptions for the second time in a week as train drivers began a new strike early on Thursday to support pay demands.
