The Greek capital and other cities come to a standstill as millions of Greeks take part in a 24-hour nationwide strike.Transport and services were affected, schools and banks were closed and there were intermittent power cuts. The public was also growing concerned as streets filled with mountains of garbage. This is the latest industrial action organised by the country's largest trade unions to protest against the government's planned pension reforms. Joanna Partridge reports for Reuters
