Climate activist Greta Thunberg was detained by police in London after protesting outside an oil and gas conference, where she and others obstructed entrances, preventing some delegates from attending. Thunberg, known for her weekly protests in Sweden, was seen calmly speaking with police officers before being searched and placed in a police van. Greenpeace reported that hundreds of demonstrators participated in the protest, with two activists scaling the building and unfurling a banner. Two speakers, including the CEO of trading house Gunvor, missed the event due to the protests.
