Copenhagen: Over 200 activists detained

Copenhagen: Danish police detained more than 200 activists on Sunday during a second day of street protests over climate change.

Police stopped an unauthorised demonstration headed towards the city's harbour and carried out a security check of some of the participants.

Police found bolt-cutters and gas masks when they searched a truck that led the demonstration.

An estimated 40-thousand people joined the mostly peaceful march toward the suburban conference centre where the 192-nation United Nations climate conference is being held.
