Young Germans are making themselves heard with demonstrations over climate change on Friday, marking a passionate engagement with politics not seen since reunification in the fast-ageing nation. Inspired by Swedish teen climate activist Greta Thunberg, who began going on strike from school on Fridays, thousands of under 21s across Germany have been joining weekly marches rather than sitting in class. Thunberg will attend Friday's rally in Berlin and the excitement in the run-up to the event was palpable.
