Tens of thousands of people have rallied in cities across Germany at climate protests urging Chancellor Olaf Scholz's government to do more for environmental protection. Bearing posters with slogans like"System change - not climate change" or"I'd be in school if the planet was cool", around 12,000 people marched in Berlin alone in a demonstration organised by the Fridays for Future movement.
Paul Guenther, 19, said he had turned up at the Berlin rally to condemn"the dishonesty of our chancellor with regard to the climate crisis". "A council of experts had calculated that the government's targets are too weak and even then, they can't even meet them with what they're doing," the geography university student said.
