More than 200 climate activists who carried out demonstrations on the runway of Amsterdam's Schiphol airport have been arrested by Dutch police.
The action was organised by Greenpeace and Extinction Rebellion. Protesters dressed in white hazmat suits sat beneath private jets and military planes. Others could be seen cycling on the tarmac. Border police eventually broke up the protests. Greenpeace said one protester sustained a head injury when he was tackled off his bike, accusing the police of being too heavy-handed.
