    New high-speed train
    French President Nicolas Sarkozy has attended the launch of a new high-speed train made by engineering giant Alstom.
    The AGV (Automotrice Grande Vitesse) train will travel at up to 360km/h (224mph), powered by engines placed under each carriage, the company says.

    The absence of locomotives at either end allows it to carry more passengers.
