Climate protest march under way

Source: BBC

A group of walkers from around the world is setting off on what is being called Britain's longest protest march.
Starting in Belfast, 18 people will walk 995 miles (1,600km) around the UK, visiting 70 towns and cities to try to draw attention to climate change.

Some 50,000 people are expected to join them along the route over 11 weeks.

The group intend to gather signatures for a petition calling for Britain to negotiate a new global agreement on curbing climate change.
