Protesters carry banners during a demonstration against the Stuttgart 21rail project in Stuttgart, southern Germany, on October 9, 2010. The Stuttgart 21 project aims to make the southwestern city part of one of the continent's longest high-speed lines, the 1,500-kilometre (930-mile) "Magistrale for Europe" linking Paris, Strasbourg, Vienna and Bratislava. Opponents say most people are against the project, that it will go massively over budget and will ultimately fail to speed up rail traffic.
