Greta Thunberg has been detained by Dutch police during a climate protest in The Hague. The police used water cannons to disperse Extinction Rebellion activists, including Thunberg, who were blocking a motorway junction. Thunberg, appearing soaking wet, was seen smiling as she was dragged away by her arms and later frogmarched onto a bus. The group consisted of around 50 activists. The police paused for a photo-op during the arrest.
