A long weekend of climate change protest began on Friday with a march in Vienna and a road blockade in The Hague.

Organisers say 20,000 people marched in the Austrian capital, while in its Dutch counterpart police used water cannons to disperse a road blockade by protestors from Extinction Rebellion.

Protesters in Vienna held up signs demanding higher taxes for CO2 emissions and an end to meat consumption.

The march came to a halt in front of parliament when members of the Last Generation group started to sit down in the middle of the street.
