Day In Pictures 12-1-11

A protester sits in front of the Greek Parliament in central Athens during a protest march marking a 24-hour general strike on December 1, 2011. Greece's new government sees its resolve tested on December 1 as unions take to the streets against the latest austerity cuts demanded by its European peers in return for funds to keep the country afloat. Today's general strike, the sixth this year, has shut down public services and disrupted train and ferry services but flights were not affected and the Athens stock exchange was open, as was most of the capital's metro system.
