Thousands of protesters took to the streets of the Danish capital and headed towards the Bella Centre, the conference venue where more than 100 world leaders are meeting at a summit to tackle climate change.

Police detained nearly 1,000 people in Copenhagen last Saturday during mass demonstrations that were mostly peaceful.
