Lützerath: Greta Thunberg joins German colliery protests

Greta Thunberg joined protesters in the German village of Lützerath to condemn the construction of a new coal mine.

Protesters have occupied the village for months, but police began dragging some people away on Wednesday.

The village belongs to the energy company RWE and all previous residents are gone.

The Garzweiler opencast mine just outside the town is to be expanded.
