Rome Colosseum goes dark for Earth Hour

Description

The lights go out at the Colosseum in Rome for Earth Hour. The annual event calls for action on climate change and the environment, and this year, organisers say they want to highlight the link between the destruction of the natural world and the increasing incidence of diseases -- such as Covid-19 -- making the leap from animals to humans.
