http://www.euronews.net/ Some 10,000 passengers with the Spanish airline Iberia have had their travel plans disrupted by a one-day pilots' strike - the second this month.

More than a third of today's flights - mostly domestic and around Europe - have been cancelled.

The pilots fear Iberia's planned new budget carrier will result in lower pay and job losses.
