Activists take over small northern village in Germany to stop coal extraction

Description

Scores of climate activists have taken over the village of Lüzerath in western Germany. The original inhabitants were expropriated, but the activists want to stop an open-air mining company from digging up brown coal on the site. A judge has given police permission to expel them from the 10th of January. But the young people say they are fighting for the future of the planet and have no intention of moving.
