Thousands of demonstrators in Greece have marched to the parliament building in the capital, Athens, to protest against delays in an investigation over a train crash in 2023.
The accident that killed 57 people after two trains had a head-on collision is the country's worst railway disaster.

The two trains had been travelling toward each other on the same track for 19 minutes without triggering any alarms.
