Dutch police says they have made more than 1,500 arrests at the Extinction Rebellion demonstration in the centre of The Hague. They are protesting against government subsidies to the fossil fuel industry. "There is broad popular support for real climate action and people are waking up to the fact that the government is actively going against this by subsidising the fossil fuel industry," says Extinction Rebellion spokesperson.
Additional police were deployed to monitor the gathering along the Utrechtsebaan Highway at the Bezuidenhoutseweg-Prins Clauslaan intersection near the Central Station.
German police continue their operation to clear anti-coal protesters from the abandoned town of Luetzerath. 2,000 activists set up a camp in the village, which is set for demolition to enable the expansion of the neighbouring Garzweiler coal mine. Around 200 protesters still remain, clinging to trees or on the roofs of buildings, as police work to dislodge them.
Climate activists from the group 'Letzte Generation Österreich' (Last Generation Austria) pour black liquid over Austrian painter Gustav Klimt's masterpiece "Death and Life" at Vienna's Leopold Museum. "Restorers are working to determine whether the painting, protected by glass, has been damaged" said museum spokesman Klaus Pokorny.
A Dutch court has charged two climate activists for their involvement in a viral protest involving 'The Girl with the Pearl Earring'.
